Question? Answer! They are finally coming together to make music together: our chief conductor Jonathan Darlington and his older brother, the celebrated concert organist and highly respected church musician from Oxford, Stephen Darlington. He has brought a work to Nuremberg that allows him to pull out all the stops of the Meistersingerhalle organ and his own art of organ playing. It is the breathtaking, overwhelming, but rarely heard in this country, organ symphony by the US national classic Aaron Copland, composed in the "Roaring Twenties". The organ symphony is contrasted with a "secret" symphony. Tchaikovsky's 3rd Suite is in fact a veritable symphony in terms of dimension and design, including waltzes and a sequence of variations. In between: the enigmatic orchestral piece "The Unanswered Question" by the pioneer of real American art music, Charles Ives. His question: where does music come from, where does music go? Our answer: Definitely from Tchaikovsky to Copland!

Meistersingerhalle

Two composers at the height of their creative powers, two works full of charm and emotion: this concert promises pure romantic happiness. The fact that there was a lot of friction between Brahms and Tchaikovsky during their lifetimes is irrelevant. For star violinist Gil Shaham and chief conductor Stanislav Kochanovsky, the American and the Russian, the focus is on the music anyway: because it is "so universally understandable and so human," as Shaham once put it.

The theme of "man and fate" has fascinated many composers. Beethoven, for example, in his music for Goethe's drama "Egmont", in which a hero tries to win freedom for his country but tragically fails. In his fifth symphony, Tchaikovsky illuminates the tragedy of his emotional distress: a dark, whispering motif runs through the work, which the composer sees as an expression of "complete surrender to fate". In between there is a pearl of romantic concert literature that many have yet to discover: immediately after taking up his post as music director in Düsseldorf, Schumann wrote his cello concerto full of euphoria - a work that is played far too rarely today.

Icarus' tragic flight - a metaphor for the fleeting intensity of life in which success and failure, freedom and death merge - also inspired Lera Auerbach. Her work "Icarus" invites you to experience music as a journey into the unknown: moving, imaginative, mythical. Even though Joseph Joachim, dedicatee of Antonín Dvořák's only violin concerto composed in 1879, never performed the work in public, it became a favorite among violinists and audiences. On this concert evening it will be interpreted by Diana Adamyan, who has had a meteoric career since winning the Yehudi Menuin International Competition in 2018. Peter Tchaikovsky's 3rd Symphony of 1875, in five movements and his only one in a major key, is often overshadowed by his later masterpieces. For conductor Vladislav Lavrik, this was a plausible reason to put it in the right light and perform it with the Jena Philharmonic in the second part of the concert.

Dirk Kaftan, General Music Director in Bonn, is bringing epochal Eastern European compositions to the Hanseatic and university city for his Rostock debut. Mikhail Glinka's overture to the opera Ruslan and Ludmilla , written directly for the orchestra, often during rehearsals in the director's room , is a milestone in Russian music. And Peter Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5, completed in 1888 after the European tour, is one of his most popular, along with the two neighboring symphonies. Both wistfully cantabile and rebelliously urgent passages captivate in this logically formed work, behind which the theme of fate is hidden

Defeat? Triumph! In 2006 he was our guest for the first time and delivered a non plus ultra interpretation of Tchaikovsky's 3rd Symphony. Unforgettable! In 2008 he came back and conducted Respighi's Fontane di Roma in a congenial manner . Impressive! Now he is coming again: Alan Buribayev, the master of the baton from Kazakhstan, former GMD in Meiningen, former head of the Het Brabants Orkest and now head of the Astana Opera in his homeland. This time he will conduct the overture to the Aeschylus opera L'Oresteia by Tchaikovsky's contemporary Sergei Taneyev and a Mozart concerto alongside the young Dutch violinist Hawijch Elders, who won 1st prize and three special prizes at the Henri Marteau International Violin Competition in 2023. Finally, Tchaikovsky's "Fifth" will be performed. Like the Beethoven symphony with the same number, it is a kind of "symphony of fate" that overwhelmingly presents the "Per Aspera Ad Astra", the dramaturgy of "Through Night to Light". Defeat? Triumph!
