The encounter of different musical worlds is the hallmark of this major music event, which fills the Jahrhunderthalle once a year. Unusual mixes and contrasts between classical and pop, orchestra and electronic music – with the hr Symphony Orchestra and special guests. This time: ClockClock.

Music Discovery Project 2025

Culture and Congress Center Jahrhunderthalle GmbH

Dance meets tuba. Featuring hr soloist Ole Heiland and an impressive concerto for his low wind instrument by film music tycoon John Williams. Written for the 100th anniversary of the Boston Pops Orchestra, it is light and melodious and, as the great film composer modestly put it, hopefully contains enough events to be fun. As a lively and grotesque counterpart, Igor Stravinsky's famous dance burlesque about the eternally unlucky hero Petrushka will be performed – a feast of sounds and rhythms. The dynamic power of the music was something completely new on the ballet stage at the time and had a provocative effect on audiences. For the spirited conductor Tianyi Lu, this is just the right opportunity to showcase her own musical talent.

Brass summit at Deutsche Bahn. Precious metals come together when trombone, trumpet & co. meet in the Silver Tower of Deutsche Bahn. And when a magnificent quintet from the Frankfurt hr Symphony Orchestra can be experienced at lofty heights, not only musical highlights are guaranteed. With a perspective more than 150 meters away from everyday life, all visitors to this chamber fibrillation on the top floor of the high-rise also gain new practical dimensions.

Jürgen-Ponto-Platz 1

The hr-Symphony Orchestra's chamber concert series returns to Bad Nauheim, this time with a truly exceptional quintet. When trumpet, trombone, horn, and tuba come together, you can expect a rich, magnificent sound and a varied and captivating program. The first half of the evening will surprise with vibrant and lively pieces that evoke memories of faraway places, bygone eras, and sunny days. The second half will then focus entirely on the Christmas season. Frankfurt Radio Brass was founded in 2023 by five members of the orchestra with the desire to present the audience not only with orchestral repertoire but also with the broad and brilliant spectrum of brass music at the highest level. From Baroque and Romantic to contemporary, there's something for everyone, as the musicians of Frankfurt Radio Brass are committed to presenting every genre of music with the same passion, musicality, and technical perfection that listeners have come to expect from the hr-Symphony Orchestra. The joy of making music together is always paramount and is visible and palpable to everyone. The five solo wind players are among the leading musicians of their generation and have won numerous prizes at national and international competitions.
