Gabriela Montero Charlie Chaplins „The Immigrant“

Mon, Mar 31, 2025, 19:30
Gabriela Montero (Piano)
Im Jahr 2018 erhielt Gabriela Montero den Heidelberger Frühling Musikpreis für ihren leidenschaftlichen Einsatz als Musikvermittlerin, gesellschaftliche Brückenbauerin und für ihre großartigen Improvisationen. Als Gastkünstlerin beim „Frühling“ wird sie stets warmherzig von ihrem Publikum empfangen. Doch die Venezolanerin, die seit vielen Jahren fernab ihrer von Krisen erschütterten Heimat lebt, kennt das Fremdsein nur zu gut und hat diesem Gefühl ein Rezital gewidmet. Zu hören sind die Werke von drei Russen, deren Biografien ebenfalls durch ein Leben im Exil geprägt waren: das groteske Lachen Prokofjews, die nüchterne Tonsprache Strawinskys und die Musik des missverstandenen Rachmaninow, dessen Melodien nur allzu oft verramscht wurden. Sie münden in den Chaplin-Stummfilm „The Immigrant“, zu dem Montero live improvisieren wird.Das Konzert endet mit einer Live-Improvisation zum Stummfilm „The Immigrant“ von Charlie Chaplin.Im Anschluss findet ein Künstlergespräch mit Anselm Cybinski im Festivalzentrum statt.*Restored by Lobster Films and Cineteca di Bologna under the aegis of Association Chaplin © Film Preservation Associates Inc., 2012, © Lobster Films

Lukas Sternath Schnell und langsam

Musikpreis der deutschen Wirtschaft Ensemble Resonanz Finalkonzert

Sun, Apr 6, 2025, 11:30
Tabea Wink (Blockflöte), Clarissa Bevilacqua (Violin), Jonas Müller (Bariton)
Seit 1953 fördert der Kulturkreis der deutschen Wirtschaft junge, aufstrebende Talente der klassischen Musik. Der Musikpreis soll dabei zu Beginn einer Musikkarriere als kraftvolle Unterstützung dienen und richtet sich an herausragende Instrumentalisten*innen und Sänger*innen unter 30 Jahren, die im deutschsprachigen Raum leben und mit einer eigenständigen künstlerischen Stimme Brücken zum Publikum bauen. Der im Jahr 2024 neu ausgerichtete Musikpreis der deutschen Wirtschaft umfasst nicht nur das Preisgeld in Höhe von 15.000 Euro, sondern vor allem Auftrittsmöglichkeiten bei renommierten Partnerfestivals im Rahmen der „Kulturkreis-Tournee“. Zu den Partnerfestivals gehören neben dem Heidelberger Frühling das Beethovenfest Bonn, die Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, die Ludwigsburger Schlossfestspiele, das Lucerne Festival sowie das Rheingau Musik Festival. Beim Finalkonzert erhalten die drei Finalist*innen die Möglichkeit, sich sowohl der Jury als auch dem breiten Publikum des Festivals zu präsentieren. Dabei werden sie vom Ensemble Resonanz begleitet. Die Jury besteht aus den Intendant:innen und künstlerischen Leiter:innen der Partnerfestivals, Fachberatern sowie dem Musikgremium und der Vertretung der Geschäftsstelle des Kulturkreises.Konzert ohne PauseFinalist*innen Tabea Wink Blockflöte Clarissa Bevilacqua Violine Jonas Müller BaritonDie Finalist*innen werden begleitet vom Ensemble Resonanz unter Dirigent Gregor A.

Veronika Eberle and friends Schubert-Oktett

Sun, Apr 6, 2025, 19:00
Veronika Eberle (Violin), Benjamin Günst (Violin), Pauline Sachse (Viola), Valentino Worlitzsch (Cello), Enno Senft (Contrabass), Thorsten Johanns (Clarinet), Ben Goldscheider (Horn), María José Rielo Blanco (Fagott), José Gallardo (Piano)
String quartets thrive on the homogeneity of the ensemble, achieved through long-term collaboration. Larger ensembles, however, mostly benefit from the confrontation of strong individuals, whose temperaments can unfold within a carefully crafted interpretation. When seven outstanding young soloists gather around the violinist Veronika Eberle to perform Franz Schubert's magnificent Octet, precisely this potentiation of creative energies is to be expected. Far more concise than Schubert's work, with which he famously wanted to "pave the way to the great symphony" in 1824, is the Octet by the young composer Gregor Mayrhofer - an equally poetic and masterful new edition of the mixed octet of strings and winds. Following the concert there will be an artist talk with Anselm Cybinski at the festival center.
