The theme of the 2025/26 Orchestra Unwrapped concerts is centered around the history of the Philharmonia Orchestra, which was founded in 1945 by Walter Legge and celebrates its 80th birthday in 2025. Legge worked for a company called EMI, who was responsible for making recordings of classical music. 

The pieces you’ll hear take us on a journey through time linking to the exciting history of the Philharmonia, from 1945 to today – a history you are all part of by being part of Orchestra Unwrapped in its 80th year!

Figaro and Susanna simply want to get married, but this proves more complicated than expected. On their way to wedlock, they must fend off intrigues and suitors, as well as face tests of loyalty and jealousy: Figaro's boss, Count Almaviva, is also courting Susanna, who allies herself with his wife, the Countess; Figaro, meanwhile, believes he has been betrayed – and then there's the lovelorn young Cherubino flitting about. A farcical comedy of disguises and mistaken identities ensues!

Northwestern Winds (Oboist Edward Benyas, Clarinetist Denise Lum, Hornist Jill Jaques and Bassoonist Steven Morgan), who have collectively performed with the Chicago, Seattle, Milwaukee and Oregon Symphonies, the Seattle, Santa Fe and Chicago Lyric Operas, the Pacific Northwest and Joffrey Ballets, and at the Spoleto, Carmel Bach and Bellingham Music Festivals, among others, appear as soloists in Mozart’s delightful Sinfonia Concertante for four winds and orchestra.

When Mozart spent a few days in Linz in 1783, the opportunity to give a concert spontaneously arose. However, he had no finished works at hand. So, within four days, he composed a symphony that later—and quite rightly—became known as the "Linz Symphony." Mozart clearly follows in the footsteps of Haydn, whose symphonies he had previously studied and copied. For the first time, he also opens a symphony with a slow introduction, thus continuing the path he had begun toward a large-scale symphonic form.

Auburn Symphony joins forces with Seattle Pro Musica for a concert of profound beauty and emotional depth. Mozart’s Requiem, left unfinished at the time of his death, is a work of timeless intensity and soaring choral grandeur. Osvaldo Golijov’s Oceana, inspired by Pablo Neruda’s poetry, transforms the orchestra and choir into a vast, shimmering seascape. Together, these works create a poignant and unforgettable experience—music that resonates long after the final note.

The Honorary Conductor of the Staatskapelle Berlin turns 90. Since the 1990s, he has regularly rehearsed and conducted opera performances and concerts at the Staatskapelle Berlin and with the orchestra, often offering truly magnificent moments of fulfilling, harmonious music-making. For his milestone birthday, which Zubin Mehta is celebrating together with the Staatskapelle, he has selected music by two composers who have accompanied him throughout his career and continue to inspire him. Mozart's Symphony in G minor, the middle piece of the triad of his famous last symphonies from 1788, can be experienced in combination with Mahler's symphonic debut, composed exactly a century later. Both works capture the composers' characteristic tone, and Zubin Mehta will bring both to life in his own unique way.

Emanuel Blumin-Sint is a rising star in the classical music world. The 20-year-old bassoonist has already given solo performances at New York's Carnegie Hall and the Elbphilharmonie. He has collaborated with Sir Simon Rattle and won more than a dozen first prizes in competitions. In 2024, he was awarded the Fanny Mendelssohn Förderpreis, which enabled him to create his debut album, "Leading Bassoon." This record clearly shows that Emanuel Blumin-Sint is on a mission. He wants to bring the bassoon to create a new image, bringing the sonic diversity offered by his instrument closer to the audience. In this "Classics on Sunday – Extra," he plays three of his most beautiful declarations of love for his instrument. Mozart's Bassoon Concerto is a poetic reverie tailor-made for the warm, singing tone of the bassoon. And Rossini beautifully combines the bassoon's soft tone with lightness and Italian flair.

Ahead of a tour together across Europe, the remarkable piano duo brothers Arthur and Lucas Jussen will join forces once again with Academy of St Martin in the Fields for a concert in London directed by Tomo Keller . The concert will feature Bach’s sprightly Double Keyboard Concerto No. 2 in C major and Mozart’s beautiful and playful Piano Concerto for three pianos in F major, written for the Countess Maria Antonia Lodron and her two daughters. The Concerto was later rearranged by Mozart himself and another pianist, incorporating the music for the Countess’ youngest daughter Giuseppa into the two other parts, which is the version the Jussen brothers will perform.

Mieczysław Weinberg's Sinfonietta No. 1 is a work full of lightness and accessibility. However, behind the optimistic sound lies a disturbing story. Composed in 1948, the piece was created in the midst of Stalin's anti-Semitic campaign. Officially celebrated as "bright and optimistic," it met political expectations without betraying Weinberg's progressive composition style. With hints of Jewish folk music, clever variations, and a touch of Shostakovich, it remains a fascinating balancing act between conformity and artistic freedom. Mozart's Piano Concerto KV 466 appears as a contrast, but in its key of D minor, it is also a work full of dramatic depth. Mozart wrote it during a time of personal upheaval and suffering. In a quasi-reconciliatory manner, the concert concludes with Glazunov's "The Seasons," bringing nature to life in vibrant orchestral colors.

In this profound program, pianist Awadagin Pratt performs two concertos written especially for him, both inspired by T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets. The evening culminates in Mozart’s Requiem, a choral masterpiece that traverses the depths of human existence. From the haunting “Introit” to the fiery “Dies Irae” and the ethereal “Lacrimosa,” Requiem captures the dance of life and death, the tension between stillness and motion, and the journey from mortality to transcendence.

All the poise, elegance and grace of the Classical period is in this concert – on the surface. But each piece shows its composer in an inventive mood, pushing the boundaries of what was expected and creating something new. Prokofiev imagined how Mozart or Haydn might write in the 1920s and produced his charming First Symphony. Mozart used his Fifth Violin Concerto to play with tempo and style, creating his most brilliant, lyrical and witty writing for the instrument. And Beethoven’s First Symphony contains all the clues required to understand that this was no ordinary composer – he would take the symphony to somewhere entirely new.

Mozart's Piano Concerto in D minor is one of his most exciting works and, even 200 years after its creation, has lost none of its power. The key of D minor alone shows that this is not about light entertainment. This music tells of great emotions: drama, longing, and passion. He wrote the concerto at a time when he was exploring new paths with his music and bravely experimenting. Particularly impressive is the dialogue between the piano and the orchestra - sometimes they are adversaries, sometimes they merge together. The melodies are so captivating that they became famous even back then and still move people today. At the beginning, Malte Arkona introduces the concerto, and afterwards, you can ask your own questions during the After Concert Talk. So, a concert that not only allows you to listen but also to participate - an experience for all the senses!

Best of Classics: Mozart Piano Concerto

Two prodigies, Mozart and Rossini, meet on this program, each of them writing brilliant music with almost unbelievable speed. Rossini's Italian Girl in Algiers (the whole opera!) was composed in less than a month and was a big hit. Its overture sets the scene for exotic locales, hilarity and dramatic love. Principal Clarinet Benjamin Lulich is our featured soloist in Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto, some of the most sublime music ever written. When commissioned to write another symphony at a moment’s notice and “up to his eyeballs” in work, Mozart set to reworking his “Haffner” Serenade. The eventual result was this celebratory 35th Symphony, aka the Haffner Symphony, presented in this program. And alongside it, Mozart's 39th Symphony bubbles with dance-like rhythms and lightness.

A spring celebration of music, the season culminates with Mozart’s Symphony No. 39 to mark the end of the KCCO’s 39th season. Mozart’s last three symphonies, numbered 39, 40, and 41, were completed in record time in a great burst of creativity over the summer of 1788. They are considered among the great masterpieces of classical music.

With three gems from chamber music, the Busch Trio celebrates the triumph of art over the adversities of life: In his Piano Trio K. 502, the immortal Mozart plays with light and shade, yet his choice of the key of B-flat major underscores the hope for a better world. Despite the despair over his increasing deafness, Beethoven reached a creative peak around the creation of his "Ghost Trio." And Schubert, in the face of his approaching death, composed nothing less than a masterpiece with the monumental E-flat major Trio.

A coup attempt and his best friend a conspirator – yet Tito would rather relinquish his throne than base his power on fear and terror. "La clemenza di Tito" is a work that poses timeless questions about the use of power, guilt, and forgiveness. Mozart's late opera seria contains some of his most fascinating arias and ensembles. The rising tenor Giovanni Sala sings Tito, while Cecilia Bartoli interprets Sesto, one of her signature roles. The historically informed Orchestra La Scintilla performs under the direction of Gianluca Capuano.

An attempted coup is uncovered, and his best friend is a conspirator – but Tito would rather renounce his office as ruler than base his power on fear and terror. «La clemenza di Tito» is a work that poses timeless questions about how to deal with power, and about guilt and forgiveness. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s late opera seria contains some of his most beautiful arias and ensembles. Conductor Marc Minkowski returns to Opernhaus Zürich with this new production, as does Italian director Damiano Michieletto.

Thanks to Mozart, the horn acquired its first letters of nobility at a time when it was considered only as an instrument for hunting and the outdoors. Both noble and joyful, enriched by a slow movement imbued with great tenderness, the Second Concerto (1783) highlights the new head of the OPRL horn section, Margaux Ortman. A mature work, Mozart's Symphony No. 39 (1788) is inspired by the theater, and is similar to Don Giovanni in its incessant quest for colors, the presence of deep and meditative passages, and this ability to shape melodies like true lines of song. Sublime!

A flame setting bodies and hearts ablaze, Don Giovanni consumes and consumes women in a frantic race that makes him feel alive. But in these endless conquests, isn't it, more than pleasure, the eager search for challenges that drives him? Isn't he a mirror of our addiction to desire, excitement, and consumption that leads us to the abyss?

For his staging of this essential Mozart opera, Jean-Yves Ruf invites the musicians of Julien Chauvin's Concert de la Loge onto the stage, in a unique scenography that favors all the porosity between instrumentalists and soloists. A complex version of Don Giovanni where the character oscillates between his inner slopes.

For this opera, ARCAL has opted for youth, with the cream of the rising generation of French singers for a vibrant and contemporary interpretation of this timeless myth.

Internationally renowned violinist and Philharmonia favorite Shunske Sato guides us through the connection between works by some of the 18th and 19th centuries’ most beloved composers.

Following the premiere of the "Shakespeare Monologues" in the 3rd Philharmonic Concert, Sylvain Cambreling returns to Duisburg for a guest performance. This time he will conduct the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra, the resident orchestra of the magnificent Laeiszhalle, where he has been chief conductor since 2018. His program includes two Viennese classics: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, whose genius is particularly evident in his piano concertos, in addition to his operas with their deeply felt character portraits. No. 23 in A major is one of the later concertos composed in Vienna. It was written concurrently with his work on "The Marriage of Figaro." The final movement, with its agitated parlando, is reminiscent of Mozart's great operatic finales. The solo part will be performed by the Argentinian pianist Nelson Goerner, who has already performed in Duisburg as a chamber musician with a Brahms piano quartet. A few years after Mozart, Beethoven also went to Vienna to receive "Mozart's spirit from Haydn's hands," as his Bonn patron, Count von Waldstein, wished. The "Pastorale," composed in Vienna, is one of the most famous pieces of program music—with its bird calls, a violent storm with piccolo lightning and timpani thunder, as well as shepherds' song. A typical Cambreling program, in fact, known for its multifaceted concert dramaturgy.

It’s the eve of Figaro and Susanna’s wedding, but nothing is going right. The Count’s wandering eye has landed on the bride-to-be. Cherubino, the page, is sweet on the Countess, and Marcellina, the governess, is chasing after Figaro.

Mozart’s great ensemble comedy features a colourful cast of characters and a whirlwind of tricks, disguises, and mistaken identities. Can the servants turn the tables on the masters in order to teach the Count a lesson and save the wedding? Will love triumph?

From the famous overture to the finale, this social commentary on class and love unfolds with brilliant music, memorable melodies, and heart-breaking tenderness as the characters ponder young love, lost love, and forgiveness.
