In turbo speed from the 18th to the 20th century: The Sonic.Art Saxophone Quartet moves effortlessly from Bach's B Minor Suite to Bernstein's West Side Story in the space of half an hour, condensing the sound colours of an entire orchestra onto soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones. In the lunchtime concert, the four musicians from Belarus, Australia, Japan and Germany show how these worlds can be brought together with virtuosity. Their stylistic confidence, joy of playing and technical as well as musical perfection have already earned these well-rehearsed musicians a number of important international awards. We are looking forward to their debut at the Alte Oper and combine the event with an invitation to a small lunch in our foyers after the concert.

At the centre of the programme is In C by Terry Riley, a revolutionary piece that forever changed the course of music. It’s built from a simple idea: short repeating musical cells layered by musicians in real time, creating something hypnotic, unpredictable and full of life. Riley’s work was deeply influenced by Indian classical traditions and we bring it into even closer conversation with those roots here featuring sitar, tabla and our full orchestra.

After a career spanning 60 years, Philip Glass still sits at the cutting edge of music. He's influenced generations of classical composers, as well as David Bowie and The Talking Heads. He's worked with Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger, and Leonard Cohen. Grammy® award-winning violinist Jennifer Koh returns to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra to play what’s been called the "best concerto of the last 50 years" (ClassicFM.com), Philip Glass' Violin Concerto No. 1. The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra welcomes the return of local favorite Jerry Hou, a rising star on the contemporary music scene, to conduct a world-premiere composition by the jazz-inspired composer Nicky Sohn.

When Jean Sibelius was working on his intensely beautiful and dramatic Fifth Symphony, he already sensed he was creating something remarkable. “I’ve received a wonderful theme,” he noted in his diary. The inspiration came from seeing sixteen swans in flight – a moment that gave rise to the magnificent theme of the symphony’s final movement. “One of the great experiences of my life! My God, what beauty.”

"Masterpieces New & Old"

Christ Lutheran Church in Allentown

In Jean Cocteau's novel, the "enfant terribles" are named Paul and Élisabeth. They are brother and sister, teenagers and orphans. Alone in a society they reject, they transform their room into an imaginary kingdom, a sanctuary of a symbiotic relationship where love borders on obsession and conceals a latent violence. When two friends, Gérard and then Agathe, intrude upon their private world, the threat of losing Paul draws Élisabeth into a vicious cycle of dangerous games, jealousy, and manipulation. In this short novel published in 1929, the author illuminates the fragility of adolescence, the impossibility of suspending time, and the disastrous consequences of an all-consuming passion.

Celebrated for its innovative and imaginative programming, the Manchester Collective repeatedly succeeds in uncovering exciting thematic threads and establishing unexpected connections. In their new program, "Albion, Now," they take the audience on a journey through the contemporary British music scene. Christian Mason's vibrant "Sardinian Songbook" encounters Errollyn Wallen's lyrical sound language of "Five Postcards," Anna Meredith's wild swarm of flies in "Tuggemo," in which strings and electronica buzz around each other, and other discoverable new creations from Great Britain—formerly known as Albion. The Manchester Collective thus draws on the rich world of myth and legend of old England and transforms it into a contemporary soundscape.

This astonishingly original presentation of the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast blurs the distinctions between film and live opera, merging Jean Cocteau’s classic 1946 romantic fantasy with Philip Glass’ mesmerizing 1994 score.

This will be a dazzling performance on our very own queen of instruments! Our guest is the Spaniard Juan de la Rubia, organist at the famous Sagrada Família cathedral in Barcelona. He begins his multifaceted program with the magnificent overture to Handel's 1743 psychological drama "Samson." A superb example of French Renaissance music is Eustache du Caurroy's 1610 Fantasia on the then-popular and enchanting song "Une jeune fillette." Profound emotion stands alongside explosive outbursts in Bach's legendary Chaconne in D minor. Charles Tournemire never wrote down his choral improvisations, such as the one on the Easter sequence "Victimae Paschali Laudes"—they survive only because he recorded them as early as 1930. Jehan Alain, who died young in World War II, wrote impressive variations on a folk song by the 16th-century master Clément Janequin.

Experience the magic that happens when musical voices across time and style come together in perfect synergy. From the classical sparkle of Mozart’s Eine kleine Nachtmusik to the lush, romantic richness of Teresa Carreño’s Serenade for Strings, and the hypnotic drive of Philip Glass’s Symphony No. 3, this concert is a celebration of unity through contrast. Each work shines on its own—yet when heard together, they reveal surprising connections and a shared spirit of invention. Join us for an unforgettable evening where tradition meets innovation, and strings sing with one voice across centuries.

In the years before the Millennium Steve Reich and Philip Glass transformed the way we listen – creating music as energising as it poetic, and as modern as it is timeless. In Reich’s 90th birthday year, the Carducci Quartet plays one of his most haunting masterpieces, alongside Philip Glass’s Third Quartet and something brand new from the incredible, dancing imagination of Vincenzo Lamagna.

Hailed by critics and beloved by audiences, this eagerly anticipated revival transports you to Ancient Egypt in Philip Glass’s enthralling portrait of a trailblazing pharaoh. Countertenor John Holiday is the titular Akhnaten, determined to lead Egypt into a new age even as his plan to abandon the old gods puts his kingdom (and his life) in peril. Mezzo-soprano Sun-Ly Pierce is his queen Nefertiti, soprano So Young Park is the powerful dowager Queen Tye, and Grammy winner Zachary James reprises his memorable role as Amenhotep III, leading the audience through the ritualistic action on the stage.

Director Phelim McDermott revives his visually arresting production, replete with soaring acrobats, astonishing jugglers, and towering sets. With a libretto drawing on ancient texts like The Book of the Dead and a hypnotic, atmospheric score, Akhnaten portrays a doomed visionary with all his feats and foibles. Finland’s Dalia Stasevska makes her company debut conducting this tribute to one of the most transformative chapters in Egyptian history.

American composer Philip Glass’s La Belle et la Bête (Beauty and the Beast) is a bold fusion of opera and film — a genre-defying concert augmentation of Jean Cocteau’s 1946 cinematic masterpiece. In this mesmeric production, Fort Worth Opera singers and musicians perform Glass’s hypnotic score live on stage, perfectly synchronized to the surrealist fairy tale projected behind them on the big screen at the historic Ridglea Theater. With expressive singers and a unique musical ensemble replacing the film’s original dialogue and soundtrack, the experience blurs the line between cinema and stage — delivering a visually stunning, musically intricate, and utterly one-of-a-kind experience.

The Classics - With a Twist

A reimagining of the classic fairytale, for film and ensemble, fuses Jean Cocteau’s 1946 film with a powerful score.  Innovative composer Philip Glass removed the original soundtrack (including dialogue) and replaced it with an opera score to be performed live to the film. The unlikely love story of the dreamy beauty and the elegant beast unfolds in rare and unexpected ways as the chemistry between the early film and the modern sensibilities of Glass’s score create an emotional landscape of humor, tragedy, and ultimately of redemption.

In an inspired new collaboration, they intersperse Philip Glass’s Symphony No. 3—one of the composer’s most traditionally “classical” works—with original poetry by prizewinning poet and multidisciplinary artist J. Mae Barizo. Even in its original form, this would be Carnegie Hall’s first performance of Glass’s symphony—but in the hands of The Knights, it’s something no audience has heard before. In the program’s second half, The Knights perform a timeless orchestral staple: Robert Schumann’s Symphony No. 4, a work of complex dualities and grand Romanticism.

Rachmaninoff’s ultra-Romantic Symphony No. 2 enfolds you with sweeping melodies, lush orchestrations, and inspired lyrical passages. The composer himself said: “Music is born only of the heart and it appeals to the heart. It is love.” You’ll need no further proof than this gorgeous work. Opening our concert is a piece by a titan among minimalists, Philip Glass. Our new Artist-in-Residence Simone Porter launches the Concerto with propulsive force, then invites you to lose yourself in the harmonies of the Adagio, and leaves you breathless in the sensational last movement—but gives you a final moment to dream about the journey you’ve just taken.

Let's briefly recall the main plot of this ambiguous myth. The Titan Prometheus stole fire from the gods, one of the attributes of their power over the world, to make its benefits available to ordinary mortals and contribute to the development of humanity. Offended by this sacrilege, Zeus decided to take cruel revenge on both the brave man and humanity. He chained Prometheus to the rocks of the Caucasus and daily sent an Eagle to eat the condemned man's liver by day. At night, the liver would grow back, and Prometheus's suffering would begin anew. Simultaneously, the ruler of Olympus decided to test humanity. He ordered the creation of a woman named Pandora, whom the gods endowed with dazzling beauty and many talents, and Zeus gave her a mysterious Box as a dowry for her future husband. However, the gift was subject to a prohibition against opening it. The gullible Epimetheus, brother of Prometheus, married Pandora, who, yielding to her curiosity, opened the Box, releasing all the misfortunes that have befallen humanity ever since. Fortunately, Hope was also hidden within Pandora's Box, which remains there to this day as a solace for humanity.

We conclude the concert season with Bernstein, Gershwin, and Glass, three icons of American music. Bernstein's first musical from 1944 is brimming with edgy rhythms, jazzy harmonies, and blues-tinged melancholy—the dances are the musical essence. Before Bernstein, Gershwin had not only chosen a revolutionary theme in his opera "Porgy and Bess"—it's about love and survival in a Black neighborhood—but also incorporated the music of his protagonists, such as spirituals, blues, and jazz, into the composition. Morton Gould arranged this "American Folk Opera" for the concert hall. In 2023, the MDR Symphony Orchestra and Maki Namekawa premiered Philip Glass's new piano concerto with great success—it can now also be heard in Suhl and Leipzig.

The ONYX Ensemble is a piano quintet formed of students based in Manchester at the Royal Northern College of Music and is one of the only professional groups in the world to work solely with this instrumentation. Due to their rare instrumentation, it has allowed the group to explore a wide range of chamber works that are incredibly unique and as a group aim to put underrepresented works side by side with the “classics” that audiences are typically used to hearing at chamber concerts. The ensembles performances have been noted as being incredibly energetic and full of passion, due to the innovative programmes they put together and the vibrant playing of the members. All coming from very different musical backgrounds, each individual member brings something special to the group while also balancing their own musical commitments outside of the ensemble. Constantly pushing for new works for their instrumentation, they have collaborated with renowned composers including Danny Elfman and Xavier Foley, as well as encourage new and upcoming composers to explore their ideas with the ensemble. The group have various exciting projects ahead including a recital series at Manchester Cathedral, multiple European and World premieres, and a tour of South Wales this May.
