Queyras And Schuldt :Meeting At The Summit

Grand Théâtre de Québec

The Mighty Kotzschmar

Merrill Auditorium

Fabio Luisi leads the late-Romantic composer’s magnum opus, a towering oratorio that tackles no less a subject than the Bible’s Book of Revelation — the Apocalypse — a prophetic vision of the final violent destruction of the world. The DSO, soloists, massive chorus, and organ solos on the Lay Family Concert Organ depict the breaking of the seals, the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the seven trumpets summoning souls to the Last Judgment, and, finally, the message of salvation and an ecstatic “Hallelujah.” Monumental, riveting, unforgettable! With English supertitles.



The Book with Seven Seals

Meyerson Symphony Center

In 2017, French pianist Lise de la Salle made her jubilant debut at Konserthuset Stockholm with a recital in the Main Hall. Now she returns as soloist with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra in Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20, one of his most beloved piano concertos.

Mozart Piano Concerto No. 20

Stockholm City Hall

We are brought to Vienna, the Vienna of the late 1800 and early 1900; to the city of great art and paradoxes, to the city of elegance and walzes, to the city of eroticism and psychoanalysis. It was an age of great discoveries and creativity, of deep introspection and wild expressionism. Wien, wien, nur du allein has shown this kind of light-heartedness and profoundness at the same time.

Epiphany Concert

A concert of differing moods from composers writing nearly a century apart. Elgar’s introspective Concerto reflects with intensity his despair about the world after the Great War that destroyed millions of lives. You’ll hear echoes of Bach, a sublime Adagio, and a finale conveying profound emotions. Beethoven, feeling nearly rambunctious in his sun infused Fourth Symphony, sends you home on an uplifting note.

Elgar Cello Concerto

Join us for an unforgettable evening of music with David Afkham & Christian Tetzlaff, accompanied by the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, at the majestic Munich Residence, Herkulessaal. This concert series, taking place on Thursday, 16th November 2023, and Friday, 17th November 2023, at 8:00 pm, promises a night filled with stirring performances and musical novelties.

The evening will commence with an introduction at 6:45 pm, setting the stage for a program that includes Anton Webern's "Passacaglia for orchestra in D minor, op.1", Alban Berg's "Concerto for violin and orchestra To the memory of an angel", and culminates with Franz Schmidt's "Symphony No. 4 in C major". This concert marks a significant occasion as it features the debut of David Afkham with the orchestra and introduces Franz Schmidt's symphony to the BRSO concert repertoire for the first time.

David Afkham, the esteemed conductor, alongside virtuoso violinist Christian Tetzlaff, will lead the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks through this carefully curated program. The concert not only showcases the talents of these remarkable musicians but also pays homage to composers who have left an indelible mark on the world of classical music.

This event is part of Subscription B, offering attendees a chance to immerse themselves in the profound emotional landscapes and intricate compositions of Webern, Berg, and Schmidt. It's an evening that promises to be a poignant exploration of music as a medium of remembrance and expression.

Don't miss this opportunity to experience the magic of classical music in one of Munich's most iconic venues. Tickets are available for purchase online, ensuring your seat at this must-attend event for classical music enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

Munich Residence

Hamburg's former General Music Director Simone Young has always championed the works of Austrian composer Franz Schmidt. She traces her fondness for his music back to her years in Vienna, where Schmidt is a staple of the repertoire. In the north, however, Young was the first in a long time to revive Schmidt's monumental oratorio "The Book with Seven Seals." For her guest conducting engagement with the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, she now brings Schmidt's rarely heard Second Symphony in E-flat major to the table.

Roberto González-Monjas conducts music by two Vienna-based composers who excelled both as musicians and composers: Piano Concerto No. 21 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, featuring Mao Fujita as soloist, and Symphony No. 2 by Franz Schmidt.

5th Chamber Music Concert in the Vienna State Opera

The great Austrian repertoire, from Strauss and Strauss to Mahler and Berg, is in the best hands with Manfred Honeck, a native of Vorarlberg. And because the 2026 Hamburg International Music Festival is dedicated to the theme of "The End," Honeck will be performing the most monumental vision of the end of the world by an Austrian composer of the 20th century at the opening concert: Franz Schmidt's setting of the apocalypse, "The Book with Seven Seals." Outstanding singers and choirs are a must here.
