Composer

The Little Suite, or Petite Suite as it is called in French, is a true evergreen in the classical repertoire. Debussy's short orchestral suite in four movements is instantly recognizable. Even if you don't know the title, you'll be happy to hum along to the lulling, light and inimitable melodies.

Opera and drama are rarely the focus of Thuringia's largest concert orchestra, which makes the program, which combines two stage works, all the more remarkable. Opening with Gabriel Fauré's incidental music for "Pelléas et Mélisande," the delicacy and tragedy of Maeterlinck's symbolic drama come alive in impressionistic soundscapes. The centerpiece of the evening is Béla Bartók's opera "Duke Bluebeard's Castle": an intense psychological drama in which Judith opens the locked doors of the castle and simultaneously uncovers her husband's secrets.

Experience the sublime beauty of Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem, lovingly written in memory of the French composer’s father. Soprano Sarah Dufresne and baritone Xiaomeng Zhang join forces with the Vancouver Chamber Choir to present this monumental choral work of eternal serenity. Maestro Tausk leads the orchestra in Johannes Brahms’ Song of Destiny and Alban Berg’s Violin Concerto, dedicated by the composer to “the memory of an angel” and masterfully interpreted by violinist Maria Milstein.

Prepare for a journey through the soul-stirring landscapes of life and death with Tchaikovsky’s final work—his “Pathétique” Symphony. Composed just days before his own death, this symphony poignantly explores Tchaikovsky’s deeply personal struggle of longing, brimming with vulnerability. He shared, “I love it as I have never loved any one of my musical offspring before.” And trust us, you’ll feel that love in every note.

Pure joie de vivre and butterflies in the stomach: that's a feeling that unites all three works in our Koblenz concert this year. Gabriel Fauré's fragrant suite Masques et Bergamasques (loosely translated: "Carnival Masks and Dances from Bergamo"), Maurice Ravel's sparkling Piano Concerto, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's radiant Jupiter Symphony combine profound thought and the bluest Mediterranean sky! In this Ravel year, we're collaborating with one of Germany's most prominent young pianists, Alexander Krichel, who will be making his debut with the Beethoven Orchestra in Koblenz. Incidentally, after pushing the Koblenz stage of the Rhein-Mosel-Halle to its limits with works by Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss over the past two seasons, we're demonstrating our orchestra's virtuosity and joy of playing this time with a concentrated, classical orchestra!

Bach's music was a great inspiration for Johannes Brahms, who dedicated his choral work "Warum ist das Licht gegeben dem Müseligen" from 1877 to the great Bach scholar Philipp Spitta. The entire work revolves around the big question: "Why": If God is almighty and merciful, why is there all this suffering in the world? The motet ends with a hymn text based on Simeon's Praise by Luther. Here the struggle is over, and the vulnerable have found rest and comfort in the belief that death is not the last word.

A tragic opera for soprano and orchestra in one act, lasting around forty minutes, Poulenc's La voix humaine was written in 1958 to a text by Jean Cocteau. This long and moving telephone monologue by a woman abandoned by her lover is performed by the Belgian soprano Anne-Catherine Gillet and accompanied on the organ (starting from Poulenc's piano version) by Yoann Tardivel, in a sober staging, conceived for this concert. The prelude to Pelléas et Mélisande by Fauré and the Three Dances for organ by Jehan Alain, subtitled Joys, Mournings, Struggles , provide an ideal introduction.

Our first guest artist of the 25-26 concert season, pianist Evren Ozel, recently competed in the prestigious Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.

An evening full of discoveries: This concert brings to light musical treasures that are all too rarely heard in the shadow of famous names. Juan Crisóstomo Arriaga’s First String Quartet – written when he was only 16 years old – reveals an astonishing genius who died far too young. The powerful piano quintet with double bass by Mozart’s pupil Johann Nepomuk Hummel combines classical and early romanticism, while Felix Mendelssohn’s youthful String Quintet op. 18 surprises with brilliance and vigour. This is accompanied by Fauré’s songful »3 Romances sans paroles« and Jules Auguste Demersseman’s virtuoso fantasy for alto saxophone – a real rarity. A programme of musical surprises.

We can often understand music even better when we hear the words it is based on. In a delightful blend of concert and reading, the Studio Orchestra Duisburg and narrator Natalia Hüskens juxtapose musical and lyrical pairs of works—concrete, as in the artistic encounter between Gabriel Fauré and Paul Verlaine, or Ralph Waldo Emerson and Charles Ives, but also imaginary ones. Antonín Dvořák drew inspiration for his "Czech Suite" from the sounds of his homeland, while Mendelssohn Bartholdy found it for his "Hebrides Overture" in the magnificent natural scenery of Scotland. What would the appropriate poems sound like? The first serenade concert provides the answer.

And so, the evening is far from over: The Fauré Quartet unpacks its encores, reminisces, chats about its music, and also brings festival jubilee Matthias Schorn onto the stage, because the quartet and the clarinetist share much more than just their love of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival.

Many leading artists are committed to supporting young musicians in their field, as they know best: All beginnings are difficult, especially in the classical music market. This year's featured artist, Renaud Capuçon, knows this well and is therefore committed to supporting emerging talent.

Mary Bevan released her debut solo disc, Voyages, in 2017 (with pianist Joseph Middleton on the Signum label), which explores the music of eminent French composers and the settings they wrote for the poems of Charles Baudelaire. For this recital, Mary revisits her favourite repertoire from Voyages, including songs by Duparc, Fauré, Debussy, Chabrier, and more, but this time, each song is paired with another by a female composer writing around the same time. In this way, the recital seeks to bring the female composers from out of the shadow of their male counterparts and restore them to their rightful places as composers of equal quality and interest.

Bringing the festival to a close with music built from small, repeating patterns, Closing Night:Wireworks explores how repeated shapes give rise to deep emotional worlds. Fauré’s Piano Quartet No. 2 unfolds in flowing, intricate layers, each phrase subtly echoing the last, while Brahms’s Two Songs for Voice, Viola, and Piano weaves voice and viola into a tender, interlaced duet. Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story selections bring energy and elegance to the finale, grounded in the iconic tritone interval that underpins the entire score and its vision of love and equality. Like the textiles of Ruth Adler Schnee, whose work inspired this season, each piece turns careful design into something luminous, human, and alive.

Composer Molly Joyce composed a contemporary climate-aware response to Haydn’s Seven Last Words of Christ, confronting the slow yet looming crisis, alluding to the individual actions as missing the forest for the trees when systematic destruction is ignored. Fauré’s tragic love story Pelléas et Mélisande follows this journey into the woods, before handing off to Haydn’s Symphony No. 103 “Drumroll,” where a seemingly peaceful and pastoral E-flat major hides a warning of an ambiguous dies irae in its theme.

Praised by Classical Guitar Magazine as “having the potential to serve as inspiration for new generations of guitarists to come,” the Beijing Guitar Duo launched their international concert career with a New York debut in Carnegie Hall in 2010.  Beyond their virtuosic techniques, both artists’ approach is one that embodies pure chamber music at its finest: collaboration, organic in-the-moment response, and relinquishing the soloist’s spotlight in service to the ensemble.

Matthias Pintscher leads your Kansas City Symphony in Gabriel Fauré’s Masques et bergamasques, a thoroughly enchanting suite drawn from incidental music for a divertissement staged in Monte Carlo. Fauré’s music readily captures the essence of the masked balls and rustic dances alluded to in the title, offering refined accompaniment to the glamourous mystique of the event.
 
Soprano Sophia Burgos is featured in Francis Poulenc’s Gloria, one of his signature works. The Symphony Chorus shines in this music, filled with rhythmic verve and suave syncopations. Lush and inviting dissonances paired with sensuous chord progressions are part of his glittering harmonic palette. Lyrical phrases encounter angular counterpoint, much like Poulenc’s paradoxical personality. This radiant and often playful music is a perfect juxtaposition of sacred and secular.
