In this sweeping program centered around the beauty found in nature, Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen brings his “astonishingly beautiful” (The Guardian) tone to a wide range of repertoire. Heightened by the deeply sensitive playing of pianist John Churchwell, the program includes Korngold’s rarely performed Songs of Farewell; Robert Schumann’s Liederkreis Op. 39; works from Nussbaum Cohen’s Jewish heritage; songs by Black American composers Leslie Adams and Florence Price; and a new work by leading American composer Jake Heggie. Having recently recorded the program’s German song repertoire—never before recorded by a countertenor—this departure from the standard repertory of the voice type promises to create a moving and memorable evening.

The horror is unimaginable: On October 7, 2023, the radical Islamic Hamas attacked Israel. In the south of the country, its members carried out a massacre, torturing and kidnapping defenseless civilians. As a result of the barbaric terrorist attack, a war broke out in the Gaza Strip, bringing immeasurable suffering to people on both sides. In memory of the day of the terrible attack, the Duisburg Philharmonic Orchestra is organizing a concert with Jewish music and Jewish artists - as a sign of solidarity and as a signal of hope. Because music can achieve what often seems unattainable in real life: people of different backgrounds and religions find each other in the intimate dialogue of chamber music, united in their devotion to a common cause: music.
