Sir Simon Rattle

Mahler Chamber Orchestra

Join us for an unforgettable evening with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra as we present "Time for Rattle" on the 17th of May, 2024, at the prestigious Konzerthaus Dortmund. This remarkable concert, scheduled to begin at 20:00, marks a significant moment in the world of classical music as Sir Simon Rattle, a towering figure in orchestral conducting, makes his much-anticipated debut with the MCO.

Under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle, the orchestra will perform a captivating program dedicated entirely to W. A. Mozart's final three symphonies: Symphony No. 39 in E-flat major, K. 543; Symphony No. 40 in G minor, K. 550; and Symphony No. 41 in C major, K. 551, known as the "Jupiter." These masterpieces represent the pinnacle of Mozart's symphonic work, offering audiences a journey from the majestic to the mysterious, culminating in the sublime grandeur of the "Jupiter" Symphony.

This concert is not only a celebration of Mozart's genius but also a landmark event for Sir Simon Rattle. Coming 25 years after the MCO's Founding Mentor Claudio Abbado first conducted the orchestra, and 22 years after Rattle's appointment as Chief Conductor of the Berliner Philharmoniker, this performance symbolizes a passing of the baton in musical leadership and artistry. Originally planned for 2020, this tour has been eagerly awaited and is now finally happening after being postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Experience the freshness, agility, and poise that define the MCO's Mozart performances, brought to new heights under Sir Simon Rattle's direction. This concert promises to be a deeply moving experience, drawing listeners closer to the music with vivid interpretations that breathe life into these timeless compositions.

Don't miss this extraordinary evening in Dortmund. Book your tickets now and be part of a historic moment in classical music as we celebrate "Time for Rattle" with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and Sir Simon Rattle at the helm.
