Munich Philharmonic's 2025 Season: A Celebration of Artistic Resilience and Cultural Reconciliation

Musicians from Israel and Munich share the podium, as members of the Munich Philharmonic and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra sit together on stage for this special concert on the eve of the celebrations for the 80th anniversary of the end of the war. The bridge between the two orchestras is Lahav Shani, who has been chief conductor of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra since 2020 and will take on the same role with the Munich Philharmonic from 2026. The program features two composers of Jewish descent. The racial madness of the National Socialists drove the German-born Tzvi Avni and his family from their home in Saarland. Along with many other composers who were of "non-Aryan" descent according to the National Socialist definition, the work of Gustav Mahler was also removed from all concert and radio programs during the Third Reich. Malte Arkona leads the concert evening with background knowledge of both works.
