Preußens Hofmusik II

For two decades, Prussia's Hofmusik, the chamber orchestra series of the Staatskapelle Berlin, has focused on music from the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly composers and works associated with the history of the Staatsoper and Staatskapelle. In its anniversary season, the ensemble spotlights Johann Sebastian Bach, revered by King Frederick II of Prussia, whose sons were active in Berlin, and whose influential renaissance originated there. The program features inspired secular and sacred cantatas by Bach, along with renowned instrumental music.

Chorkonzert Ensemble Limewood

Kam­mer­kon­zert V

For more than six decades, the chamber concerts by musicians from the Staatskapelle have been a constant feature of the Staatsoper programme. This season, ensembles have come together to select music from different periods, styles and cultures under the theme of ‘playing together’. On eleven dates in the Apollosaal, which with its special atmosphere is an ideal venue for chamber music and communicative interaction between players and listeners, works from the Baroque to the present day will be performed in constellations that are both exciting and harmonious, in which tangible contrasts play just as important a role as a common resonance and the balancing of opposites.

Konzert der Kompositionswerkstatt

Children invent their own musical piece and have it performed by professionals. With the support of a composer, children develop musical ideas and their own form of notation. At the end of the composition workshop, musicians of the Staatskapelle Berlin perform the works for the first time.

Abon­ne­ment­kon­zert V

Jean Sibelius and Carl Nielsen take a particularly prominent position among Scandinavian composers of distinction. Two of their most important works were composed in the mid-1920s, Sibelius' tone poem Tapiola, a piece about the infinity and sublimity of nature, and Nielsen's sixth and final symphony, which, although labeled “semplice” (simple), is multi-layered and thoroughly complex. Erich Wolfgang Korngold's Violin Concerto is a work from his American years, premiered in 1947 but already conceived at the end of the 1930s and dedicated to Gustav Mahler's widow Alma. His experiences with film music, which he had gained in Hollywood, are also - and especially - reflected in this tangibly inspired concerto.

Konzert der Orchesterakademie

Abon­ne­ment­kon­zert VI

The collaboration between Christian Thielemann and the Staatskapelle Berlin began in June 2022 with the performance of a Bruckner symphony (No. 7) and continued with another (No. 5) in November 2023. Now the next Bruckner symphony follows with the Sixth, a work that often stands somewhat in the shadow of its neighbors, but has its own individual qualities and a certain “individuality”. The symphony is preceded by Sebastian im Traum by Hans Werner Henze, a composition written in 2004 for large orchestra based on the poem of the same name by Georg Trakl. The music follows the text closely and attempts to visualize its meaning and mood in sound.
