The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) celebrated her as a "sensation for the music world" – award-winning saxophonist Asya Fateyeva captivates with her multifaceted playing and unique sound. Originally invented by Adolphe Sax in 1840, the saxophone is often associated with jazz. But Fateyeva demonstrates that it can do much more: sometimes powerful, sometimes gentle, and reminiscent of the human voice...

Opera Gala with Jonas Kaufmann

Due to the renovation of the Frankfurt Concert Hall, we are moving part of our chamber music series to the event hall of the Frankfurt Kleist Museum this season. This is a fitting opportunity for this Sunday matinee, as this museum will be opening the exhibition "Kleist and Music" in the fall of 2025. With this matinee, we are providing a piece of accompanying music to this show and to Kleist's era. The poet Heinrich von Kleist not only played the clarinet himself, but with Johann Baptist Vanhal and Iwan Müller, we have two of his contemporaries in the program. In Müller, we also have a clarinetist and composer who, as an instrument maker, made significant contributions to the further development of the clarinet.

Soprano Sheva Tehoval, dazzling with virtuosity and expressiveness, will bring to life the moving arias that make the magic of opera.

Voice and charisma – that is the unanimous, enthusiastic judgement of the critics when it comes to Jonathan Tetelman. »A star par excellence« is how the New York Times describes him. The Chilean-American tenor is on stage as Alfredo in »La Traviata« at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden or as Pinkerton in »Madame Butterfly« at the Metropolitan Opera and demonstrates his skills in a »dark-coloured tenor timbre« (SZ) and with »balsamic verve« (Der Tagesspiegel), while the audience listens spellbound. Jonathan Tetelman makes his Elbphilharmonie debut with a sonorous journey through the most beautiful tenor arias from the great operas of Puccini, Verdi and others.

Anyone who has seen the film, Fantasia, will conjure up their own special ballet images as they listen to Ponchielli’s Dance of the Hours from his opera, La Gioconda. That fanciful world comes of age in the romantic heroism of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 and then matures in the lyricism of Schumann’s Symphony in C Major, with its emotional journey from darkness to affirmation and triumph. Spend time with the orchestra and our young artist as together we enjoy our “Classical Hours.”
