The evening opens with music from John Kander and Fred Ebb’s Cabaret, bringing the sound of the theatre straight into the hall, lively, a little cheeky, and sometimes quietly reflective. Songs by William Bolcom follow, continuing that cabaret tradition with music that feels close,personal, and directly connected to the words.

Greater Covington Center

Music from the Roaring Twenties: jazz meets classical meets weird and wonderful.
Take a deep dive into some fabulously strange corners of 20th century music. Ibert’s sparkling, playful Divertissement was composed for a play about a straw hat. Its short but sweet movements range from parody to pathos to party-time. Leonard Bernstein declared that Milhaud’s Création du Monde was the best example of jazz-classical fusion: not a ‘flirtation’ with jazz, but a ‘real love affair’. It is serious, funky, and full-blooded. Walton’s Façade, meanwhile, defies categorisation: part chamber piece, part poetry recital, part provocation. Soprano Jennifer France takes on the fabulously tongue-twisting poetry.

For Kirill Petrenko, the Karajan-Akademie of the Berliner Philharmoniker is a matter close to his heart. In regular concerts, he passes on his passion, experience, and musical approach to the orchestra’s young talents. Now, Petrenko is working with the Akademie on Schubert’s Fourth Symphony, a piece by the then 19-year-old composer that brims with urgent drama and lyrical moments. The programme also features chamber music: Debussy’s only string quartet, Ibert’s lively and witty Trois Pièces brèves, and Ravel’s sensuous Introduction et Allegro for harp, flute, clarinet, and string quartet.

Ever subtle, ever ambivalent, Tchaikovsky juggles joy and tragedy in his Fourth Symphony, led here by guest conductor Dima Slobodeniouk. Tchaikovsky’s so-called “Fate” motif reminds us that we cannot live in the beautiful world of our dreams. “This is fate,” he explained, “that fatal force which hangs above your head like the sword of Damocles, and unwaveringly, constantly poisons the soul.” If fate is the soul’s poison, the Fourth’s shining finale is the antidote. Rarely programmed but undeniably compelling, Jacques Ibert’s Flute Concerto is among the most challenging pieces in the repertoire. The concerto is an electrifying assemblage of unlikely influences, ranging from Mozart to Stravinsky. SF Symphony Principal Flute Yubeen Kim takes on Ibert’s uncategorizable tour de force.

The 2025/2026 concert season draws to a close with an exhilarating musical voyage across continents, cultures, and soundscapes.

Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio Espagnol and Tchaikovsky’s Capriccio Italian transport us to Spain and Italy with vivid, lively rhythms. The concert concludes with Respighi’s Pines of Rome, a journey through the eternal city, where the music paints a landscape from tranquil parks to the bustling streets. Through rich orchestral color and diverse influences, this concert invites you to experience the sights and sounds of the world.

He ultimately became the greatest symphonic voice of the 20th century, but 19-year-old Shostakovich was a “precocious” composer, with his First Symphony causing a sensation. People fought to hear its premiere. It anticipates the characteristics that mark his later creations, too -- it’s cheeky, brash, vigorous, full of rhythmic drive. A wonderfully contrasting voice is Ibert’s charming Concerto, masterfully performed by our renowned flute soloist.

“From his first notes, the effect was astonishing. It was the tone he drew from his instrument which caught the ear first, and continued to throughout the performance. Totally clean, liquid, mellifluous—i.e., honeyed—in the best sense of the word, rounded and beautiful, it beckoned you in.”

Tonight’s program invites you into a colorful journey through the worlds of brass and winds—music that sparkles with wit, sings with lyricism, and dances with rhythmic vitality. From French elegance to Broadway romance, from playful miniatures to modernist brilliance, each work offers its own snapshot of character and style, brought vividly to life by the unique voices of the ensemble.

The evening opens with Eugene Bozza’s Sonatine for Brass Quintet, a bright and buoyant work that sparkles with French elegance and wit. Its lively rhythms and warm harmonies showcase the brass in playful conversation, inviting listeners into a world of charm and precision.

Bernstein’s West Side Story, arranged for brass quintet by Jack Gale, bursts with the energy and romance of the Broadway classic. Familiar melodies—tender, fiery, and irresistibly rhythmic—are reimagined through the bold, golden sonorities of the ensemble.

Jacques Ibert’s Cinq pièces en trio (arranged here for flute, clarinet, and bassoon) offers five miniature gems, each a vignette of character and color. From lighthearted dances to lyrical whispers, the music delights in its clarity and humor.

The program concludes with Stravinsky’s Octet for Wind Instruments, a neoclassical masterpiece that blends crisp counterpoint with modernist sparkle. With its inventive forms, rhythmic vitality, and kaleidoscope of timbres, the work closes the evening in a spirit both playful and sophisticated.

Fiery passion has a name in music history: Carmen! Georges Bizet's opera has become a musical synonym for love, joie de vivre, and fatalism – and for the rapturous enthusiasm for Spain that gripped all of Paris from the mid-19th century onward. The accordion, in turn, is France's secret voice of the heart and is closely intertwined with French savoir-vivre, with valse musette, and the blend of lightness and melancholy. When our featured artist Martynas Levickis and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen immerse themselves in this Spanish-French world, what naturally belongs together comes together.

One of the oldest of instruments, the harp has been tied to myths and legends across many cultures and civilizations. In our concerts it takes on a unique chamber role that reveals its hidden qualities, and its chameleon-like character is fully on display in this program of original works and arrangements. Two lesser known, but equally wonderous Piano Trios bookend the evening.

Israeli Chamber Project: Orpheus' Lyre

The famous "Chorale St. Antonii" comes from Haydn's B-flat major Divertimento, which Brahms used as the theme for his "Haydn Variations". The chorale is probably a pilgrimage song that was sung on foot to a St. Anthony's chapel to bring the pilgrims to their destination - "d'un pas léger", with light steps. The wind quintet genre took off in Paris with the enthusiastically received compositions of Anton Reicha, which Franz Danzi emulated in his G minor wind quintet. If France is still considered a stronghold of woodwind sound today, this is also thanks to Paul Taffanel. The "Société des Instruments à Vent", which he founded in 1878, also inspired later composers such as Jacques Ibert to write works for wind quintet. French Baroque composers used the term "Tombeau" to describe funeral pieces for deceased colleagues. Ravel's "Tombeau de Couperin" is more of a musical nod to a bygone era and is much more light-hearted than the title suggests.

Mozart's "Jupiter Symphony" marks a conclusion and at the same time a departure into new worlds. With it, Mozart crowns and ends his work in the field of the symphony in the highest perfection. At the same time, he presents the first monumental work in the line of tradition that will determine symphonic music in the 19th century. After all, this symphony is one of those works that established Mozart's immortal fame early on. One of his most ardent admirers was Tchaikovsky. He said that the music of this "sunny genius" moved him to tears.
