A classic in music education for many years: our youngest subscribers sit on colorful cushions in front of the musicians. With presenter Susanne Grünig and "Mrs. Muse" they are part of a lively concert in which the children by no means just sit still!

As early as the 18th century, composers were fighting for a European continent without national boundaries. Their music transfer affected not only singers and instrumentalists, but also styles, genres and trends. Italian violinists caused a sensation in London and Dresden, and in Hamburg people danced à la française. You can hear this in the second baroque concert of the season. The Croatian pianist Dejan Lazić and Dutch conductor Jan Willem de Vriend provide additional international flair.

The fourth chamber music matinee of the 2024/25 season embarks on a voyage of discovery into little-known territory. The expedition is led by Bartosz Zachlod, leader of the second violins and passionate chamber musician. Together with colleagues from the NDR Radio Philharmonic, he presents works from his Polish homeland: Karol Szymanowski's String Quartet No. 1 and the highly romantic piano quintet by Juliusz Zarębski. Rating: absolutely worthwhile!

Things get magical and sometimes scary when orchestra detective Malte and chief conductor Stanislav Kochanovsky open the "Firebird File". It contains a lot of information about the young Prince Ivan and his encounter with the powerful magician Kastschej.

Two composers at the height of their creative powers, two works full of charm and emotion: this concert promises pure romantic happiness. The fact that there was a lot of friction between Brahms and Tchaikovsky during their lifetimes is irrelevant. For star violinist Gil Shaham and chief conductor Stanislav Kochanovsky, the American and the Russian, the focus is on the music anyway: because it is "so universally understandable and so human," as Shaham once put it.

The NDR Radiophilharmonie will be performing at the Grand Théâtre de Provence with its new chief conductor Stanislav Kochanovsky and will play Tchaikovsky's Suite No. 3 and Brahms' Violin Concerto in D major with Gil Shaham.

Tonus peregrinus, the foreign tone, refers on the one hand to an old psalm tone that was the basis of certain Gregorian melodies. On the other hand, Tonus peregrinus can also be a symbol for new or unusual sounds or sound combinations. Bach's famous oratorio composition Magnificat BWV 243 uses a melody in this tone in Suscepit Israel (No. 10), which forms the basis of the entire cycle. In the last line, the text of the work calls for reconciliation despite all opposition and strangeness, with a reference to the common root of all people ("unto our fathers, Abraham and his seed forever"). Bach's motet "Jesu, meine Freude", which is based on a Protestant chorale and New Testament text, is also about alienation from the world, about the transformation from carnality to spirituality.
