Join us for a monumental celebration as the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks (BRSO) marks its 75th anniversary with a special performance of Arnold Schönberg's "Gurre-Lieder," conducted by the esteemed Sir Simon Rattle. This gala concert event will take place at the Gasteig HP8, Isarphilharmonie in Munich, with performances scheduled for Friday, April 19, 2024, at 8:00 pm, and Saturday, April 20, 2024, at 7:00 pm.

"Gurre-Lieder" is an oratorio in three parts for soli, speaker, choir, and orchestra, featuring an impressive lineup of performers including tenor Stuart Skelton, soprano Dorothea Röschmann, mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton, bass-baritone Josef Wagner, tenor Peter Hoare, and speaker Thomas Quasthoff. They will be joined by the Bavarian Radio Chorus, MDR Chorus, and the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks to bring Schönberg's masterpiece to life.

This performance is particularly special as "Gurre-Lieder" represents the final peak of late Romanticism, requiring over four hundred performers and the largest orchestra ever assembled by a composer. Sir Simon Rattle's personal affection for the piece and its significance in the history of the BRSO make it the perfect work to celebrate both the orchestra's 75th and Schönberg's 150th anniversaries.

An introduction will precede each concert, starting at 6:45 pm on Friday and 5:45 pm on Saturday, providing insights into the monumental work and its historical context.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to experience "Gurre-Lieder" performed live, a testament to the power and beauty of late Romantic music. For those unable to attend in person, BR-KLASSIK will broadcast the Friday concert live on the radio from 8:05 pm, and the Saturday concert will be broadcast on BR television from 10:00 pm.
