Sky, sea and light permeate this concert, in which Finnish conductor Dalia Stasevska makes her debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker. Jean Sibelius transports us to the historical Finland of legend with his dramatic tone poem Pohjola’s Daughter, while Kaija Saariaho’s Orion describes the astrological constellation in numinous music. The concert will also include Edvard Grieg’s piano concerto, which its echoes of Norwegian folk music, and Claude Debussy’s shimmering tone poem La Mer. The soloist is pianist Jean-Fréderic Neuburger.

Biennale »Paradise lost?« Debussy’s “La Mer” and Grieg’s Piano Concerto

Berliner Philharmonie

Beethoven's 9th Symphony is larger than it is almost possible for a piece of music to be. The symphony has become a symbol; it is the EU anthem, it was played under the Brandenburg Gate at the fall of the Wall, it is the freedom, love and brotherhood of humanity. It is the music that continues to comfort us through the centuries. The symphony will be 200 years old in 2024, and here at OS we are celebrating the milestone together with the Royal Opera Chorus and our chief conductor Pierre Bleuse. The 9th Symphony is groundbreaking in many respects, it is long, and it includes choirs and soloists. This had never been experienced before. The first three movements are entirely for orchestra, and then when the soloists and the choir get up and start singing Friedrich Schiller's famous Ode to Joy, well, it's really hard not to get goosebumps, and not to love your neighbor a little bit more than before. "All men are reconciled".
