Chorus Director

In this concert, which concludes Kent Nagano's ten-year term as General Music Director, two key strands of his concert dramaturgy for Hamburg come together: the reference to tradition, namely to the Hanseatic Johannes Brahms, whose four symphonies the Philharmonic has accompanied in recent years in its Hamburg concerts as well as on tours - and the sound of our present in innovative premieres. A look back makes us think of Widmann's ARCHE, Dusapin's "Waves", Shepherd's "On a Clear Day" and many other outstanding new creations. In this concert - as both a crowning finale and farewell - a new symphony by the young Argentinian Alex Nante will be heard in his unmistakably dreamlike, spiritual sound language.

10th Philharmonic Concert

Elbphilharmonie Hamburg

The 2024/25 season, the last with General Music Director Kent Nagano, starts with Anton Bruckner's Ninth - one of the many ninth and final symphonies in music history. How far the old believer looked ahead to what was to come at the end of the 19th century is still impressive and deeply moving. A symphony for eternity. One that will continue almost indefinitely.

1st Philharmonic Concert

With over 200 artists ranging from singers and dancers to a rock band, Leonard Bernstein's spectacular MASS: A Theatre Piece for Singers, Players, and Dancers will be performed at this year's International Music Festival Hamburg.
