Conductor

Trumpetist

The premiere of the ballet The Rite of Spring was one of the most legendary scandals of the 20th century, but Igor Stravinsky’s music has endured as one of the century’s masterpieces. Håkan Hardenberger is the soloist in Jörg Widmann’s trumpet concerto Towards Paradise, conducted by Alain Altinoglu.

There is a true world star on the program when we present a unique concert experience with the world-famous trumpeter Håkan Hardenberger, who will perform as both soloist and conductor this evening.


With a career spanning four decades, Hardenberger is known as one of the most prominent and innovative trumpet players in the world. He has collaborated with some of the greatest orchestras, including the Berlin Philharmonic, the Vienna Philharmonic and the Concertgebouw Orchestra, and he continues to set new standards for what can be achieved with the trumpet. This evening, Hardenberger presents, among other things, one of the greatest classics of trumpet literature, Haydn's Trumpet Concerto, which with its elegant melody and virtuoso challenges is a work that truly shows the many facets of the instrument.

Few had heard of Igor Stravinsky before his breakthrough work  Petrushka . The poignant and catchy ballet score, written in 1911, depicts a marionette brought to life in an orchestra that sparkles with mischief and elegance.
