The music of the New York Gypsy All Stars blends eastern European Romani traditions with influences from Indian and Latin American music and jazz. The band´s sound not only reflects the multinational origins of its members but also the cultural diversity of New York, the city they all call home. |

„REDDRESS” blurs the boundaries between performance and visual art. The musician is placed in a huge dress that fills the concert hall. In this highly unusual setting, Pekka Kuusisto will perform electronic music and Finnish folk music. Please note that audience members seated in section A (within the dress) must take off their shoes for the duration of the concert. |

Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the death of Claude Debussy, a group of international artists, led by Daniel Barenboim, presents duo and trio sonatas as well as the evocative „Syrinx“ for solo flute and the „Chansons de Bilitis“, featuring French mezzo-soprano Marianne Crebassa. |

Born in 1936 in Argentina, Giora Feidman moved to Israel with 21 and was a member of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra for two decades. Since the 1970s, he has been performing klezmer music all over the world, becoming the genre´s best-known interpreter. Now Feidman comes for a duo recital, for which he is joined by Kinan Azmeh. |
|
Radu Lupu ranks among the most celebrated performers of the music of Schubert and Schumann. For his solo recital, he combines Schubert´s lyrical „Moments musicaux“ and his starkly dramatic A minor Sonata D 784 with Schumann´s „Kreisleriana“, which was inspired by the literary world of E.T.A. Hoffmann. |
|
Uniting musicians from the Middle East and Europe, the Morgenland All Star Band is defined by the diverse artistic backgrounds of its members and by the crossing of musical boundaries. From traditional music to jazz and rock - their concert is sure to be an evening of opposites and surprises. |
|
Sir András Schiff has spent many years probing the inexhaustible riches of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. He now continues his series of lecture concerts with a presentation of the six partitas for solo piano. Two evenings will be devoted to lectures (g/e), the other two to complete performances of the partitas. |
|
As ensemble in residence, the Belcea Quartet presents a cycle of three concerts, featuring Krzysztof Penderecki´s String Quartet No. 4. At the center is a Beethoven program that will interweave his late B-flat Major Quartet and the celebrated „Grosse Fuge“ with a „surprise“ selection of works by other composers. |
|
Zwei Meisterwerke der englischen Musik des 20. Jahrhundert stehen im Mittelpunkt dieses Konzerts mit dem Boulez Ensemble: Elgars spätes Klavierquintett erklingt neben Brittens Sinfonietta. Sir Antonio Pappano, musikalischer Leiter des Royal Opera House in London, ist als Pianist und Dirigent zu erleben. |
|
Kinan Azmeh, his ensemble Hewar, and the Armenian Gurdjieff Ensemble shine a musical spotlight on the cultural history of their two. The concert explores the interaction between two different cultures that live in close physical association and is both a tribute to the people of Syria and a wish for sustained peace. |
|
Marlis Petersen zählt auch als Konzert- und Liedinterpretin zu den herausragenden Künstlerinnen unserer Zeit. Gemeinsam mit Stephan Matthias Lademann gestaltet sie ein Programm, das Goethes „Lied der Mignon“ mit Werken des jugendlichen Komponisten und Liedern aus seinen letzten Lebensjahren effektvoll kontrastiert. |
|
Young Israeli pianist and conductor Lahav Shani - who will also appear at the Pierre Boulez Saal this season together with the Staatskapelle Berlin - performs a demanding program of Russian works, including sonatas by Scriabin and Prokofiev and Mussorgsky´s „Pictures at an Exhibition“. |
|
For the season finale, the Boulez Ensemble and Daniel Barenboim premiere a new work by German composer Aribert Reimann. The evening is bookended by Ravel’s Sonata for Violin and Cello and Beethoven’s E-flat major Piano Trio, with Barenboim at the keyboard. |
