Copenhagen Phil's Japanese chief conductor Toshiyuki Kamioka is also an excellent pianist. Now he sits down at the keys and takes on the demanding dual role of both soloist and conductor in music by Mozart - at a farewell concert, which is also his last as chief conductor of the orchestra.

Konservatoriets Koncertsal

The best of the best! It will be a real hit parade of flattering melodies, roaring orchestral sounds and heartfelt moments when Mathias Hammer from Den Klassische Musikquiz in collaboration with Copenhagen Phil puts together a concert program with highlights from classical music's finest works.

Masterpieces #2 – EXTRA CONCERT

Copenhagen Phil's Japanese chief conductor Toshiyuki Kamioka takes us on an original time journey through three centuries - and the breathtaking repertoire requires such a colossal orchestra that talented students from Det Kgl. The Danish Conservatory of Music is invited on stage. At the top of the menu is nothing less than Mahler's first symphony. A unique masterpiece, based on the beginning of life and the awakening of nature after winter sleep. From here a whole life unfolds with human love, sorrow, impotence and final triumph. With death symbolized by an iconic bass solo and the banal Mester Jakob melody played in minor.

Kamioka and Mahler's 1.

The official cause of death was cholera, but speculation and conspiracies have abounded ever since. Was he poisoned? Was it suicide? Was it due to gossip/doubts about homosexuality? And was the 6th symphony with its dying ending really a requiem? The questions pile up. Are the answers in Symphonie pathétique ? Rune David Grue has written the script and directed the concert narrative Decisive moments #3  with actor Thure Lindhardt, Copenhagen Phil and chief conductor Toshiyuki Kamioka.
