Saxofonist

In the next instalment of its »Dark Room« series, the multi-award-winning ensemble will present the »Polar Concert in the Dark« together with star saxophonist Asya Fateyeva: The audience is led into darkness, where they experience a live radio play about polar explorers Robert Falcon Scott and Roald Amundsen, who in 1911 engaged in a bitter and deadly race across the icy expanses of Antarctica in their attempt to be the first humans to reach the South Pole.

Elbphilharmonie Hamburg

An evening full of discoveries: This concert brings to light musical treasures that are all too rarely heard in the shadow of famous names. Juan Crisóstomo Arriaga’s First String Quartet – written when he was only 16 years old – reveals an astonishing genius who died far too young. The powerful piano quintet with double bass by Mozart’s pupil Johann Nepomuk Hummel combines classical and early romanticism, while Felix Mendelssohn’s youthful String Quintet op. 18 surprises with brilliance and vigour. This is accompanied by Fauré’s songful »3 Romances sans paroles« and Jules Auguste Demersseman’s virtuoso fantasy for alto saxophone – a real rarity. A programme of musical surprises.

International Mendelssohn Festival

The ProArte »Winter’s Tale« has long since become a cherished tradition in Hamburg. Since 2017, a lovingly compiled and top-class programme has been delighting young and old alike every year on the Elbphilharmonie’s festively decorated stage. Seasoned artists as well as great up-and-coming talents do the honours here, where you can hear cheerful and festive, enchanting and contemplative music. And right in the middle of it all: the wonderful Katharina Thalbach, who brings the »festival of love« to life in all its facets with her unmistakable voice and superb acting – cheerful and touching, profound and profound.

A Winter’s Tale

A »Long Night of the String Quartet« brought them together: the great, universally acclaimed saxophonist Asya Fateyeva and the Aris Quartet, which has made an equally brilliant start in the concert world, immediately felt a special artistic attraction and promptly made plans together. They are now celebrating their quintet debut with the Hamburg Chamber Music Friends at the Elbphilharmonie and are preparing a highly exciting programme with a distinctly jazzy flavour.
