Composer

»I love conducting so much that I absolutely have to do it.« Ruth Reinhardt realised this when she was 16 and her career today proves her right. Born in Saarbrücken, she completed her studies in Zurich, Leipzig and New York – and is now one of the up-and-coming female conductors who regularly perform with orchestras around the world. The young artist is especially praised for her versatility, her dynamic performances, her musical intelligence and her unorthodox choice of works. Her Bamberg debut is also a proof of this, as she leads us through some exciting repertoire: two pieces by Paul Hindemith – a modern composer who is particularly favoured by our guest conductor – set the scene. His provocative Ragtime from 1921 combines a Bach fugue with jazz elements, while the symphony »Mathis der Maler« portrays the inner and outer struggles of an eminent Renaissance artist in a colourful way. In between, the musical journey goes back 150 years to the Viennese classical period: to the time of Haydn, who liked to combine the highest standards with humour and popular elements in his symphonies. At the request of our solo cellist Marius Urba, a concerto for cello and wind orchestra composed in 1980 will also be performed, a wild ride through various genres: it was written by Friedrich Gulda, who was regarded as an enfant terrible in the classical music business. The audience is in for a colourful concert with a wide variety of ingredients and flavours. But as Ruth Reinhardt once said about her musical experiments, which might just come from a hot and sizzling witch’s kitchen – and have become her trademark: »I always like concert programmes that have contrasts!«

Minnesota Orchestra

it ungewohnten Besetzungen wartet dieser Kammerabend auf. Hindemiths Sonate für vier Hörner reizt die klanglichen Möglichkeiten des Hornquartetts aus, zumal der Komponist mit komplexen Harmonien und dichter Polyphonie die Klangfarbe des Instruments besonders betont. Das Horn gesellt sich auch zu einem Trio des Beethoven-Schülers Carl Czerny, das zeigt, dass der Komponist für mehr als nur geläufige pianistische Fingerübungen steht. Dvořáks F-Dur-Streichquartett ist das Parallelwerk zur Sinfonie »Aus der Neuen Welt«. Mehr noch als in dieser ungleich bekannteren Neunten verknüpft Dvořák in diesem Quartett Elemente aus Spiritual und amerikanischer Musik mit seiner unverkennbar böhmischen Melodik.

3. Kammerabend

Semperoper Dresden

The audience at this chamber music evening can enjoy works featuring unusual combinations of instruments. Hindemith’s Sonata for Four Horns exploits the tonal possibilities of this grouping; indeed, the composer’s use of complex harmonies and dense polyphony highlights the instrument’s unique timbre. The horn also appears in a trio by Beethoven’s pupil Carl Czerny, confirming that the famed composer of pianistic finger exercises was capable of more substantial fare. Dvořák’s String Quartet in F major is the companion piece to the symphony »From the New World«. The Czech master’s integration of American spiritual and folk music with his unmistakably Bohemian melodies is even stronger here than in the more celebrated Ninth.

Chamber Music Evening N° 3

The German conductor Joana Mallwitz leads the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Russian pianist Anna Vinnitskaya in Pyotr Tchaikovsky's first piano concerto, one of the most famous for the instrument. Here it is combined with Maurice Ravel's impressionistic Viennese waltz La Valse , Paul Hindemith's symphony Mathis der Male r and the overture to Sergei Prokofiev's opera War and Peace .

SR Berwaldhallen

Works by three eclectic composers comprise this afternoon’s programme. Paul Hindemith’s output was bewilderingly large, and the Kleine Kammermusik performed today finds him in neoclassical mood. Jacques Ibert also wrote much music across several genres, including for several French- and English-language films. Pianist Jean-Michel Damase had a much smaller output, but wrote several pieces for wind quintet.

Ruth Reinhardt, “an elegant, versatile and committed conductor in the search for expressive colors” (Scherzo), helms this program, which includes Haydn’s Symphony No. 80 —too often overlooked, this turbulent music turns storms to sunlight. The winds sparkle in Hindemith’s enduring Symphonic Metamorphosis of Themes by Carl Maria von Weber; this music was originally sketched as a ballet, and its four distinctive movements maintain a catchy sense of choreography. (Weber gets a chance to speak for himself at the top of the program, through the Overture to his fantastical opera Oberon.) Beethoven’s expressive Third Piano Concerto ranks as some of his finest music; Alessio Bax, whom Gramophone considers to be “clearly among the most remarkable young pianists now before the public,” opens with this gem.

Immerse yourself in the world of ballet with the captivating performance of "LUDMILLA," a mixed bill presented by Les Grands Ballets Canadiens. This extraordinary event is set to take place from October 24th to 26th, 2024, at the prestigious Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier, Place des Arts. With performances scheduled at 2 P.M. and 8 P.M., this event promises to be a highlight of the 2024-2025 season.

"LUDMILLA" pays homage to the boldness and visionary spirit of Ludmilla Chiriaeff, the founder of Les Grands Ballets Canadiens and the École supérieure de ballet du Québec, on the occasion of her 100th birth anniversary. As a pioneer of dance in Canada, Chiriaeff's legacy is celebrated through the works of renowned choreographers who have been influenced by her or have crossed paths with her. The program features creations by Jean Grand-Maître, James Kudelka, George Balanchine, and Ginette Laurin, offering a vibrant exploration of Ludmilla's enduring impact on the world of dance.

The performance includes the following pieces:

- "The Four Temperaments" by George Balanchine, set to music by Paul Hindemith, is a neo-classical masterpiece that explores human character traits through expressive and precise body language.
- "Le Funambule" by Ginette Laurin, a compelling quest for balance that stretches the boundaries of bodily expression, set to music by Andreas Burckhardt.
- "Desire" by James Kudelka, a series of pas de deux that delve into the dynamics of human relationships, set to the waltzes of Sergei Prokofiev.
- "Continuum" by Jean Grand-Maître, a piece that honors Ludmilla's roots and the journey of an artist, set to traditional Latvian music and featuring the talents from the École supérieure de ballet du Québec.

This event not only showcases the artistic excellence of Les Grands Ballets Canadiens but also offers a unique opportunity to save up to 40% with package bookings, allowing audiences to enjoy exclusive benefits. Join us in celebrating the legacy of Ludmilla Chiriaeff and experience the magic of ballet through the visionary works of these acclaimed choreographers.

"A scandal? No, joy. Exuberant joy," was the verdict of the Süddeutsche Zeitung after the Schwerin premiere of SANCTA. Florentina Holzinger's opera performance combines Paul Hindemith's one act opera Sancta Susanna with elements of the Catholic liturgy to create a new and radical vision of the Holy Mass ritual. Together with her performers, Holzinger embarks on spectacular physical borderline experiences and explores individual spirituality and faith, sexuality and pain, shame and liberation.

The world premiere of Nico Muhly’s new Baroque-inspired Piano Concerto is surrounded by three other unmissable and underrated works of time-hopping, genre-swapping proto-postmodernism: the cerebral mischief of Paul Hindemith’s raucous Ragtime, based on a theme by J.S. Bach; Edward Elgar’s inventive transcription of Bach’s Fantasia & Fugue in C minor; and Hindemith’s Symphony Mathis der Maler. The last takes a 16th-century artist’s struggles against repression as the basis for a majestic symphonic triptych.

A tortured genius, Brahms was known for his serious and sombre style, but here we see a different side to the composer, as we’re treated to the whimsical and sun-drenched Serenade No.2. And, rumour has it we can thank Brahms for another work in today’s programme. Dvořák’s Wind Serenade – a fun and joyous celebration of the Czech folk tradition – was allegedly inspired by music the composer heard while on his way to visit, you guessed it, Johannes Brahms.

Let us serenade you with the melodies of Strauss’ Serenade, a short and sweet tribute to romance directly influenced by the composer’s grand predecessor, Mozart. The ode to lyricism continues with Holst’s Lyric Movement performed by Principal Viola Brant Bayless, who captures the depth and freedom of the piece. In a showcase of his instrumental prowess, Bayless follows with Hindemith’s Kammermusik No. 5—the viola pitted in a melancholy monologue against the rich, dark timbres of the wind instruments. Finally, descend into Schoenberg’s achingly beautiful Transfigured Night, directly inspired by Richard Dehmel’s poem. This story tells of heartbreak and redemption as a woman confesses to her new partner that she is carrying another man’s child, yet he responds that their love will shape this child into one who is theirs. They embrace and continue their walk with a new transfigured perspective on life under the light of the moon and stars.

The concert opens with Ravel's tribute to the French Baroque, Le tombeau de Couperin, and closes with Paul Hindemith's barn-burning homage to Weber.

Our side-by-side series continues with a series of chamber collaborations between Southbank Sinfonia and the Berkeley Ensemble. These two pieces - Hindemith's Kammermusik and Stravinsky's Dumbarton Oaks - represent two sides of a monumental coin: the approach of early 20th century composers to classical music. Hindemith is cautious and tactful, following the rules and doctrines laid out in the Baroque period: ordered, reserved, yet beautiful (a bit like the British countryside). Stravinsky, while paying homage to his elders, is sly, brash, and witty. Not to be missed.

The Weimar Republic’s urgent blend of desperate defiance and vast artistic possibility come together in this Ensemble Modern performance. It opens with Hindemith’s Kammermusik No. 1, a masterstroke of postmodernism. Erich Korngold’s hit suite from Much Ado About Nothing offers an early glimpse at his wildly successful partnership with Max Reinhardt, more than a decade before they fled Europe and made Hollywood history. Schoenberg’s Accompaniment to a Cinematographic Scene is—almost certainly intentionally—not so much a film “accompaniment” as it is a full-fledged main attraction. Mezzo-soprano Wallis Giunta joins in HK Gruber and Christian Muthspiel’s brand-new arrangement of The Seven Deadly Sins, a biting satire composed the same year Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht’s works were banned in their native Germany.

Psywe: Spring Concert

Segerstrom Center for the Arts

A 3,500-year-old Chinese mouth organ, three altarpieces from the early 16th century and a mythological firebird, more a magical-divine principle than a real figure: these spherical-archaic ingredients make up a concert program with superb sound appeal. Let's start with the Sheng, this incredibly multifaceted instrument from the Middle Kingdom. The composer Unsuk Chin had long avoided writing music for the Sheng, because folklore or exoticism were not her wavelength. But the art of the Sheng virtuoso Wu Wei changed her mind - and so in 2009 »Šu« for Sheng and orchestra was created, with a solo instrument that stands for the »longing for the distant sound«. The Sheng concert is framed here by powerful timbres of classical modernism, plastic sound images and historical associations, conceived by two masters of orchestral effectiveness who are unrivaled. The woman at the helm of the symphonic apparatus: the Finnish conductor Susanna Mälkki, who sees the almost limitless orchestral repertoire as "a huge treasure trove" - ​​these three works are particularly dazzling gems.

Igor Levit is “like no other pianist” (The New Yorker), and his profound programmatic choices make him “one of the essential artists of his generation” (The New York Times). The performance begins with a solo rendition of the Adagio from Gustav Mahler’s Tenth Symphony—a sparse, stunningly revealing interpretation that lays bare the heart of the movement. It forms an incredible contrast to Hindemith’s Suite “1922,” a percussive work of pianistic maximalism, rife with interpretive possibility. Liszt’s piano arrangements of the Beethoven symphonies have long been favorites of Levit’s, and in the second half of this concert he treats audiences to the transcendent third symphony, “Eroica.”

Led by Franz Welser-Möst, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra returns to Artis—Naples for a pair of momentous performances in Hayes Hall. This first program includes works by Hindemith, Strauss, Schönberg and Ravel. The second program features Mahler’s colossal Ninth Symphony, the final — and arguably the most significant — completed symphony of the composer’s career.

Artis–Naples

Experience the Vienna Philharmonic’s breathtaking range of color. The concert opens with Hindemith’s first composition for wind ensemble, which in 1926 helped establish him as one of Germany’s leading post-war composers. It is followed by the single-movement symphonic fantasy that Richard Strauss crafted from the “best parts” of his 1919 opera Die Frau ohne Schatten. In Schoenberg’s first 12-tone orchestral work—one of his most approachable—the composer showcases what Franz Welser-Möst calls “a new way of writing music in a purely musical way … without any influences from outside music.” The program closes with Ravel’s La Valse, a remarkably orchestrated work whose extra-musical significance is passionately debated.

Isata Kanneh-Mason drew popular and critical acclaim when her debut album Romance – the Piano Music of Clara Schumann rocketed to No. 1 on the UK classical charts. Gramophone magazine extolled the recording as “one of the most charming and engaging debuts.” Her Cleveland premiere is not to be missed. Hindemith’s Mathis der Mahler is inspired by 16th-century painter Matthias Grünewald and his struggle for artistic freedom of expression in the repressive climate of his day — mirroring Hindemith’s own struggle as the Nazis attained power and repressed dissent.

Hello? Is anyone listening out there? Imagine a musical message – a Primal Message - sent 25,000 light-years away. What would our cosmic greeting sound like? Nokuthula Ngwenyama, inspired by the work of Carl Sagan and the interstellar greeting sent by the Arecibo Observatory in 1974, offers her possibility. As we say in Kansas, “Ad Astra per Aspera.”Mathis der Maler (Mathis the Painter) depicts an artist who retreats, spiritually wounded, from the turbulent world of contemporary politics into the timeless world of art. Does that sound like a story for our times? In this 1934 music, Hindemith responds to the art of a famous Renaissance altarpiece to convey his emotions about beauty and a rapidly changing world.

The exceptional young instrumentalists of the Kronberg Academy perform with one of the academy’s renowned professors: violist Tabea Zimmermann, recently appointed chair of the Hindemith Foundation. Brahms’s Clarinet Trio, here performed by viola, piano, and cello, is one of the composer’s transcendent final works and a mainstay of the chamber music repertoire. Hindemith was a gifted violist as well as a highly innovative composer, and his fourth string quartet—a work of great contrasts—is arguably his most popular (though still a rare treat in concert). Korngold’s Piano Quintet is a lavish and idiosyncratic early work, composed at the height of his popularity in Germany.

Long before Harry Potter, the realm of magicians was divided into black and white: here the good powers, there the evil. When they collide, the real tension and great magic arise. Stravinsky's "The Firebird" tells of such a showdown in stark rhythms and colors. In his ballet music set in the world of Russian fairy tales and legends, a magician wrestles with a prince and princess - who would have bad cards if the dazzling, elusive firebird were not on their side. In Paul Hindemith and his Mathis Symphony, it is Saint Anthony who fights against temptation. Horrible monsters pull at his hair, hack at his hands, kick and hit - this is what can be seen in a famous altarpiece to which the composer refers here. The music is infernal and bizarre, but sometimes also bewitchingly beautiful. Yes, temptation can also be sweet - and it is the worst!

Two strikingly contrasted Balanchine ballets compose this program. The Four Temperaments, a staple of the neoclassical Black & White repertory, changes moods, styles, and tempos as it emphasizes four different elements of the human psyche. Liebeslieder Walzer, danced to the Brahms songs of the title, performed by singers at the side of the stage, evokes a night of romantic magic as four couples move from formal ballroom dance to a mysterious nether realm where the couples’ untethered souls collide and tangle and unite.
