Goosebumps guaranteed!

Endearing
What the Czech composer Dvořák did for the music of his homeland, the British composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor achieved for the music of other peoples, including his own African ancestors: He reconciled it with the Romantic mainstream. His cantata "Hiawatha's Wedding-feast" achieved cult status in England; the unpretentious, endearing Christmas Overture incorporates popular songs such as "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" and "Good King Wenceslas."

Whether it's raining, storming, or snowing outside, we'll play our way into spring! The New Year's Concert of the Neue Philharmonie Frankfurt features waltzes, polkas, marches, arias, and duets, lively and melodious music by Johann Strauss, Robert Stolz, Paul Lincke, and many other masters of light music. The great tradition of the Viennese New Year's Concerts will be duly honored, with gems by Vivaldi and Dvořák, and delicacies like "Veronika, der Lenz ist da" (Veronica, Spring Is Here) and the brilliant "Frühlingsstimmenwalzer " (Spring Voices Waltz) – the finest entertainment all about spring.

Concert for the New Year 2026 – When the white lilac blooms again

The chamber music program by Anna-Maria Barth, concertmaster of the Neue Philharmonie Frankfurt, and her piano partner Alex Pudmann fulfills a long-held desire to place creative women at the center of a program. This is less about the question of whether a program exclusively featuring works by female composers is still necessary today. We are simply embarking on a musical journey of discovery – and one that goes far beyond well-known names like Clara Schumann (1819-1896) and Lili Boulanger (1893-1918)
. We are discovering romantic, extremely rarely performed violin music not only from Europe but from all over the world:
the Romance Op. 23 by the American Amy Beach (1867-1944), the violin sonata by the Swede Amanda Maier (1853-1894), and the Fantasy No. 1 by the American Florence Price (1887-1953). And last but not least, with Le Grand Tango, the recently deceased Russian Sofia Gubaidulina (1931-2025), inspired by Shostakovich and one of the most honored musicians of our time, will perform. An evening full of elegance, passion, and musical power – dedicated to the great women of music!

18th Wilhelmsbad Chamber Concert

Two chairs, two guitars, and two microphones – that's all guitarists Jan Pascal and Alexander Kilian need to touch hearts, enchant them, sweep them off their feet, and, transcending all boundaries, unleash a diverse range of emotions. Café del Mundo plays a unique sound. From the very first note, their finely tuned guitars exude that southern joie de vivre that celebrates life while simultaneously mo

The gifted Lili Boulanger died at the age of just 24. Despite her fragile health, she managed to create a small yet exquisite oeuvre, primarily chamber and vocal music of incomparable spirituality and impressionistically delicate color. The sparkling Scherzo "D'un matin de printemps," lasting only a few minutes, is in no way inferior to the best works of Debussy or Ravel.

Enthusiastic audiences, excellent reviews: These are the perfect conditions for the Neue Philharmonie Frankfurt to continue its "Symphonic Rock in Concert" tour in 2026! The concertgoers' euphoria, which erupts in standing ovations, was summed up by the "Mannheimer Morgen" newspaper, which simply described the "concentrated orchestral performance" as a "magnificent achievement." A fitting description, because everything in this production is of the highest quality: Accomplished orchestral musicians, a professional rock quartet, and versatile top vocal soloists interpret famous rock and pop songs in a wide-screen sound that sounds both voluminous and nuanced.
