Mahler Chamber Orchestra

Join us for an unforgettable evening with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra as we present "Coming Together" on the 9th of January, 2024, at the prestigious Brucknerhaus in Linz. This concert, scheduled to begin at 19:30, promises to be a celebration of dance and music, featuring a carefully curated programme that bridges the classical and the contemporary.

Under the baton of the dynamic Maxim Emelyanychev, making his debut with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, the evening will commence with the enchanting Ballet music from W. A. Mozart's Idomeneo, K. 367. Mozart's composition, intended to conclude the opera with a grand dance, sets the stage for an evening of rhythmic beauty and elegance.

Following Mozart, the orchestra will delve into the modern with P. Hindemith's The Four Temperaments. Originally conceived as ballet music, this piece has evolved into a concert staple, showcasing the versatility and depth of the orchestra. The piano part, a critical element of the composition, will be masterfully handled by Alexander Melnikov, whose collaboration with the MCO has been celebrated in the past.

The highlight of the evening will be L. v. Beethoven's Symphony No. 7, a masterpiece Richard Wagner described as the "Apotheosis of the Dance." This symphony, known for its infectious rhythm and vitality, promises to encapsulate the essence of dance, elevating it through the power of orchestral music.

This concert is not just a performance but a journey through the evolution of dance within the realm of classical music, presented by the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and brought to life by the talents of Maxim Emelyanychev and Alexander Melnikov. It's an evening that promises to be as enlightening as it is entertaining.
