About the concert
An All-Mozart Programme at the Konzerthaus Berlin - the Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach Chamber Orchestra is conducted by Hartmut Haenchen. In the present performance, Haenchen and a reduced ensemble succeed in bringing to life the music’s manifold characteristics through the translucency of the part writing. Whether light-heartedness, songlike lyricism, drama or inspired polyphonic writing everything breathes the spirit of Mozart. Time and again, critics have praised the orchestra's stylistic assurance, transparent textures and technical precision. Stefan Vladar’s extraordinarily sensitive touch and stylistic assurance make him an ideal partner for Haenchen and his orchestra.

How can a young Japanese woman carry on the legacy of the old jazz legends? The young Miho Hazama is a big name on the international jazz scene. In the US, she has been recognized as one of the 25 shooting stars who will shape the future of jazz. Now she is the chief conductor of the DR Big Band, carrying the torch from the jazz legends who have held the position before her. She will both carry on the legacy and take the orchestra somewhere new. Miho is from Japan and comes from a classical music tradition.

Johann Sebastian Bach “composed” his Mass in B Minor in his last years, although most of it wasmuch older, some of it written as early as 1724. Bach never witnessed a performance of the piece in its entirety, but it is doubtful if it was even intended for use in a service. It was simply too long for either Lutheran Leipzig or Dresden’s Catholic court. But the question of why it was composed is not important, given its reputation as “one of the greatest and most universal artworks in music history”.

Henrik Ibsen, a norwegian lyricist, wrote a poem "Peer Gynt" about norwegian fairy tales. He asked Edward Grieg to write the music for it to be a stage play. Because Grieg thought his music would never be played outside of Norway he left the lyrics behind and wrote his own "Peer Gynt Suite" - which is today one of the most famous pieces of the romantic era in the world.

Excerpt of the Berliner Philharmoniker, under the baton of Mariss Jansons, performing the Tango (Por una cabeza) from Carlos Gardel, arranged by John Williams.

‘Pray. But to whom.' In his erudite and haunting novel The Convert, Stefan Hertmans captures the inner conflict of his titular heroine with these concise words. The Belgian composer Wim Henderickx and librettist Krystian Lada were inspired by these universal themes and created a richly-felt opera about identity, impossible love, faith and human strength.
With Vigdis Adelaïs, Hertmans has created a strong woman who, at the time of the First Crusade at the end of the 11th century, was torn between her Christian upbringing and the Jewish faith, to which she has converted for her beloved, taking the new name Hamoutal. The Convert tells the story of a young mother who, in times of religious violence, is the victim of a pogrom and tragically perishes in her search for her kidnapped children.
Henderickx's compositions are unique in finding a bridge between musical languages. In his score, influences from Western early music, modernism and film music merge in a symbiotic way with both Jewish and Arab traditions to create a contemporary opera in which Vigdis' epic life story is told through sound.

“FEELING PIAZZOLLA” is a documentary film that analyzes the melancholy in Astor Piazzolla’s music (1921-1992), the best known Argentine composer in the world. The film approaches his personality, tying certain episodes in his life with his work. It’s based in four stages of his life, with powerful testimonies of people who were in his most intimate circle, who contribute to answer the enigma presented by his son Daniel: “it was beyond comprehension how that music came from him, considering the personality he had...”. The documentary revolves around the artist’s relationship with his work, and particularly with the feelings it evokes; avoiding being a biographical piece, but a study based on this original perspective that contributes to understand how and why his music depicts Buenos Aires’s melancholy so thoroughly. With years of documentary and journalistic research, FEELING PIAZZOLLA presents barely known material, and submerges the viewer in values, stories and metaphors, that along his beautiful music, offers an approach to Astor, not through a mere biographical experience, but through the deepness of his work, capable of moving the whole world.

"Lohengrin" is about the young Elsa, who is accused by Friedrich of murdering her brother Gottfried and - as no one wants to defend her - finds an advocate in Lohengrin, the Knight of the Grail, who is approaching on a swan.
The literary figure of Loherangrin appears as a side character in the final chapter of Wolfram von Eschenbach's medieval epic poem Parzival. Wagner took up the character and developed a story between the divine sphere, the early medieval Christianity and the Germanic world of the gods.
The last opera from Rossini deals with the liberation struggle of the Swiss under the legendary William Tell against Habsburg at the beginning of the 14th century.

The Italien Violinist Niccolò Paganini (*1782) composed the famous set of 24 Caprices for solo violin. In a few weeks Rachmaninoff wrote 1934 his variation of the composition for piano.
They attract millions of people to their concerts and via streaming services; their albums sell like hot cakes. Both young and old flock to sold-out houses; making directors and managers in the classical music industry green with envy. In any case, NEO-CLASSICAL, as the new music trend is called, is a mega hit. What makes the form so popular? Is their music ingenious or simply comforting? Are they Mozarts 2.0 or rather maestros for the masses? Do they build a bridge to the musical past, allowing our ears to walk comfortably in "familiar territory"?
