Luck? Success! September 4, 2024 marks the 200th anniversary of Anton Bruckner's birthday. The Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra is celebrating the great Austrian late romantic with a performance of his monumental 8th Symphony, the last one he was able to complete. At the same time, the work is the most extensive and most heavily cast of all Bruckner's symphonies - a tremendous solitaire. The concert will be opened with "something quite curious", as Schumann called his concert piece for four horns and orchestra. The highly virtuosic work is, in a sense, the musical calling card of the horn quartet german hornsound , consisting of four excellent musicians who, in addition to their joint solo performances, play in renowned orchestras. Everything they set out to do on their instruments - even the most delicate and difficult - they succeed at. Luck? Someone might ask cheekily with a wink. No, absolute technical mastery is the father of success here! Ari Rasilainen, top conductor from Finland, is at the podium and is our guest for the fourth time.

Horn Quartet And Bruckner's Eighth

Meistersingerhalle

Hardly any figure in literary history is as closely linked to music as Orpheus. The musician's sounds could tame animals, touch gods and soften the hearts of the dead. Together with the great literary figure Elke Heidenreich, the WDR Funkhausorchester follows in the footsteps of the Greek hero who inspired countless writers and composers. With music from Offenbach to Reinhard Mey, the evening promises a fusion of literature and music, poetic impulses and sonic discoveries.
