The first Academy Concert, which is given in three (slightly) different programs, is all about Hamburg: The Philharmonic State Orchestra plays under the direction of chief conductor Kent Nagano and together with various choirs from the Hanseatic city. With Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven (Programs I+III), Johannes Brahms and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Program II), four great masters of music history pass the musical pen to each other. As different as the times and eras in which they worked were, they are nevertheless united by great virtuosity, contrasting expressive qualities and the constant search, discovery and reinvention of their own musical language. With three slightly changing programs, four musical languages ​​that are equally different and genius are making their way into the Great Hall of the Elbphilharmonie.
