With exhilarating sounds from the Danube metropolis, Rostock's new Principal Conductor makes his debut in the popular Classic Light concert series. Originally from Bulgaria, Svetlomir Zlatkov trained in Vienna, the city of music, and now brings the flair of the Danube city to the Warnow. The program includes melodies from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johannes Brahms to Johann Strauss and Robert Stolz. The North German Philharmonic Orchestra Rostock performs under Zlatkov's direction. The singer is Mexican tenor Adam Sànchez, a member of the Volkstheater's music theater ensemble.

Brenner & Brenner

On the journey from the Baroque to modern music, we learn about the changes in orchestral formations and thus also in the orchestral sound from Johann Sebastian Bach and his contemporaries through Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Joseph Haydn to Franz Schubert and other Romantics up to the 20th century. The Loh Orchestra plays excerpts from various works, which are explained by Katrin Stöck, taken apart, put back together and brought to the attention of the young audience in a playful way.

With Tina Turner, the Loh Orchestra is dedicating its popular crossover series to perhaps the greatest rock legend of all time. She began her career alongside her then husband in the 1960s and 70s with the rhythm and blues duo "Ike & Tina Turner". After her divorce, she started an incomparable solo career in the 80s and became a soul, rock and pop icon in equal measure. In 1988, she set a world record with a concert in the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro in front of around 180,000 spectators. To this day, the exceptional artist, who died in 2023, inspires people all over the world with her unmistakable voice, her special energy and her big hits such as "What's the Love Got to Do With It" and "Private Dancer". In Nordhausen, Madina Frey lends her voice to the “Queen of Rock’n Roll” and transforms the stage into a sea of ​​emotions together with Nicky Wuchinger , Laura Saleh and Funda Asena Aktop .
