Chamber music concerts are an important part of the program. In various formations and ensembles, the musicians of the Orchester der Oper Zürich explore a wide repertoire. At close quarters and in intimate spaces, audiences experience the intensity of the musicians as they make music. Each of the nine chamber music programs in the Spiegelsaal has its own individual focus: classics of the genre meet rarely heard works, and early music meets crossover.

The soundscapes of the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra's chamber concerts are as diverse as the personalities of the musicians who perform in them. The demands of the orchestra pit are often determined by the scale and diversity of voices. Chamber music, on the other hand, reduces this dimension to smaller ensembles and allows for intimate musical interaction. As in a dialogue, diverse opinions collide, new ideas emerge and develop during performance, thus opening up a creative space for spontaneous development.

The works of the 3rd Chamber Concerto are all about love and solidarity in word and sound: When Johannes Brahms set about composing the “Two Songs”, it was his close friendship with his long-time companion, the violinist Joseph Joachim. Brahms wanted to create a musical monument to his love and composed the “Spiritual Lullaby” based on a text by Emanuel Geibel for his wedding, but withdrew the composition and revised it. The composer then published both songs together with “Quenched Longing” based on a text by Friedrich Rückert to mark another happy event: the baptism of his godchild, Joseph Joachim’s son. In both compositions, one can hear the unbridled joy of life, born of love. Leoš Janáček's (late) love for Kamilla Stösslová, who was almost 40 years younger than him, was, however, under a completely different, much worse star. In his second string quartet, with the programmatic nickname "Intimate Letters", his feelings for the young woman are omnipresent. Just a year before his death, Janáček left behind the frivolous testimony of a great love: eruptive, provocative and passionate.

The »Cameristi della Scala« orchestra from the world-famous La Scala in Milan will perform in the Great Hall this evening. In addition to the great symphonies of Mozart and Beethoven, Schumann’s cello concerto will also be performed with the renowned cellist Natalie Clein – a varied programme to kick off the year!

Golda Schultz has no time for fading heroines: "I like female roles that are complex, funny, and interesting, and that don't die. That's why I love Mozart," the South African explains in an interview. Her ability to sing Mozart wonderfully is demonstrated, among other things, by her 2024 album, which bears the beautiful title "Mozart, You Drive Me Crazy!" Here, the heroines from Mozart's operas "Don Giovanni," "Le nozze di Figaro," and "Così fan tutte" speak: strong and complex, tragic and comic—deeply human. With her warm, glowing soprano voice, Golda Schultz breathes enchanting life into all these women in the concert—a highlight of the Great Voices season.

The staged concert »Where the Wind Blows« transports the audience to a world in which air is the source of music. This is particularly evident in the members of this young, enthusiastic woodwind quintet. They find themselves in a mysterious place where movement and sound form a magical union. Determined, they allow the wind to guide them, first in their encounters with each other, then competing with one another, until they finally achieve harmony together. As a quintet, they play music from different eras, including works by the Spanish composer Manuel de Falla.

Approaching a genius: With his "Journey to Mozart," Daniel Hope embarked on his first musical adventure into the Mozart cosmos in 2018. A world of sound that is always worth exploring and bringing to life anew. "His music has something otherworldly, untouchable, almost unattainable. And yet he was so human," says Hope. In his new version of "Journey to Mozart," the violinist approaches the Salzburg master by once again allowing his contemporaries to have their say: In addition to famous colleagues such as Joseph Haydn and Christoph Willibald Glück, this time the program also includes a violin concerto by arguably the most extraordinary musician of Mozart's time: Joseph Bologne, the son of a French nobleman and a slave from Guadeloupe, made a career during the French Revolution both as a violin virtuoso and composer, as well as an accomplished fencer in the Légion des Américains et du Midi.

I have played "Death and the Maiden" with my siblings since childhood, naively and full of joy. Today with the certainty and knowledge that Schubert's music reflects everything without words: despair, fear, gentleness and consolation.

Paavo Järvi has been the artistic director of the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen for more than two decades, and together this musical dream team has raced to the top of the international music world. In this concert, they combine the energy of a young Schubert with a subtle Mozart, partnering with Mao Fujita, a pianist who, at just his mid-20s, is already considered the leading Mozart interpreter of his generation.

Sir Simon Rattle and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe: Since their first collaboration in 2020, they have been a dream team – the international orchestra has now elevated the star conductor to honorary membership. Their second joint Elbphilharmonie concert puts the orchestra at the center of attention with a rhythmic fireworks performance by Bartók and the sonority of Brahms' Fourth Symphony.
