Exploring the Rhythms of Elbphilharmonie: A Dive into Hamburg's Soundscape

"Anyone else could cobble together the main themes from his scraps," Johannes Brahms enthused about Antonín Dvořák's melodic ingenuity. He first encountered the young Bohemian's works in 1973 – and was completely captivated. He supported Dvořák wherever he could, and a close friendship developed between the two composers. It is therefore extremely fitting that the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia's concert will feature works by Brahms and Dvořák side by side. Star pianist Daniil Trifonov will play the Hamburg composer's exhilarating Second Piano Concerto, while the second half of the concert will feature Antonín Dvořák's magnificent Seventh Symphony under the direction of the newly appointed orchestra leader, Daniel Harding.

This program revolves almost entirely around William Shakespeare. After all, the English poet, with his immortal and timeless plays, has inspired more composers and genres in music history than almost anyone else. The American James Gaffigan, current General Music Director of the Komische Oper Berlin, follows this trail in his return to the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra.

Celebrated for its innovative and imaginative programming, the Manchester Collective repeatedly succeeds in uncovering exciting thematic threads and establishing unexpected connections. In their new program, "Albion, Now," they take the audience on a journey through the contemporary British music scene. Christian Mason's vibrant "Sardinian Songbook" encounters Errollyn Wallen's lyrical sound language of "Five Postcards," Anna Meredith's wild swarm of flies in "Tuggemo," in which strings and electronica buzz around each other, and other discoverable new creations from Great Britain—formerly known as Albion. The Manchester Collective thus draws on the rich world of myth and legend of old England and transforms it into a contemporary soundscape.

It's about to get exciting! When piano-playing brothers Lucas and Arthur Jussen join forces with top drummers Alexej Gerassimez and Emil Kuyumcuyan, musical sparks fly. All four already know each other from previous tours. Audiences can therefore look forward to a well-rehearsed team whose enthusiasm for experimentation, sense of rhythm, and outstanding virtuosity promise a veritable firework display on keys and drumsticks. In addition to original compositions for this unusual ensemble, including works by Steve Reich, the program also includes arrangements of repertoire classics such as the Symphonic Dances from Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story and George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue.

La Scala in Milan is one of the most renowned, traditional, and beautiful opera houses in the world. It goes without saying that the orchestra also enjoys an excellent international reputation. The orchestra's last Elbphilharmonie concert two years ago, under the baton of its Milan-born chief conductor, Ricardo Chailly, was hailed by the Hamburger Abendblatt as a "nougat treat on the Sunday family table." Back then, the program featured music by Italian operatic giant Giuseppe Verdi; now the experienced team returns to the Grand Hall with powerful works by Russian grandmasters Piotr I. Tchaikovsky and Sergei Prokofiev, and is joined by Alexandre Kantorov, one of today's most sought-after pianists.

A single hand must conquer the entire keyboard. Maurice Ravel's Concerto for the Left Hand was originally composed for the one-armed pianist Paul Wittgenstein. Yuja Wang, the extravagant, top-class pianist, takes on this challenge of extreme dexterity and subsequently plays a second piano concerto. In Einojuhani Rautavaara's work, composed in 1969, cantabile melodies and arpeggios meet a modern sound language – a powerful firework display between tradition and innovation.

This duo, which has been playing together blindly for over three decades, forms the grand finale of the "Reflektor" festival at the Elbphilharmonie, curated by Brad Mehldau. Pianist Mehldau, equally influenced by Franz Schubert, Keith Jarrett, and Radiohead, joins bassist Christian McBride, big band founder and great swing master.

Described as "one of the most influential pianists of the past decades" (ARTE), American Brad Mehldau delights fans far beyond the jazz world. This is due not only to Mehldau's extraordinary improvisational skills, but also to his compositions, which reflect his deep love of the architecture of music as well as his enthusiasm for good pop music. As part of Mehldau's "Reflektor" festival, some of his compositions can now be heard in new big band arrangements. Mehldau performs them with the hr-Bigband under Darcy James Argue.

Brad Mehldau & Big Band

Brad Mehldau is one of the most exciting voices in contemporary jazz piano. In his performance, improvisation meets structure, freedom meets rigor, jazz meets classical and pop, his own songs meet new, often daring interpretations of others' music. Brad Mehldau's solo concert at the Elbphilharmonie will be a source of excitement to see where his musical journey takes him. Destination unknown for now.

Brad Mehldau solo

"I imagined it like this: Brahms woke up one morning and had the blues." It's hard to put it more succinctly and humorously than Brad Mehldau himself: In 2013, the pianist recorded the symphonic jazz album "Variations on a Melancholy Theme." Now, the work finds its way to the Elbphilharmonie with the Hamburg Camerata.

Edwar Elgar sat down at the piano after a tiring day of lessons and played a random melody that caught his wife’s attention. Without further ado, he began to improvise variations on this enchanting melody, inspired by the different characters of his friends and activities around him: a »gruff disposition«, a »stuttering girlfriend«, his first attempts at playing the piano, a dog tumbling down an embankment, or – not to be forgotten – the world-famous »Nimrod« variation, with which Elgar honours his best friend. The solution to the riddle, the enigma of the variations, which according to Elgar is hidden within the composition, remains unsolved to this day.

His stage name is based on a martial arts icon and he enjoys karting as a hobby: Bruce Liu is full of surprises. Just like his incredibly colorful piano playing, which has catapulted him into the top league of the classical music world. Bruce Liu was born in Paris and grew up in Canada, but his Asian roots have shaped him not least of all. "I notice that Chinese history – Confucianism, Taoism – is in my blood. But through my profession, I am also closely connected to European culture." His touch definitely has a French vein, elegant and incredibly light, while a haunting tension simmers beneath the surface. Excellent prerequisites for Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto, which covers all emotional ranges, from sensitive tenderness to barely controllable outbursts of energy.

Tarmo Peltokoski, the Finnish "talent of the century" (Tagesspiegel) on the baton, has been a close collaborator with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen since his phenomenally successful debut in June 2021. This season, Hamburg audiences will once again experience how Peltokoski's energetic presence spurs the Kammerphilharmonie's musicians to crackling peak performances. The evening's soloist is another exceptional young talent, Swedish violinist Daniel Lozakovich.

Political art is becoming increasingly important in times of increasing marginalization and simple truths – and not only in the USA. On her latest album, bassist and singer Meshell Ndegeocello enters an ever-changing dialogue with the life and work of African-American writer and queer civil rights activist James Baldwin. His fight for freedom is also her fight.

Wherever he performs, he is showered with awards, thunderous applause, and emphatic criticism: the Franco-American harpsichordist Justin Taylor has catapulted himself to the top of the world with his expressive playing and well-conceived programs. On his latest album, he explores the connection between Johann Sebastian Bach and Italian music.

Justin Taylor, Cembalo

He is one of the grand seigneurs of the organ world: Bernard Foccroulle. As the long-time artistic director of Brussels' La Monnaie Opera House until 2007, he also worked in the opera world, but his original profession was and remains that of an organist. As such, he has earned an outstanding reputation as an expert in both early and contemporary music.

When the five Amadeus Award-winning musician Julian le Play broke new musical ground in spring 2025 and set off on his big Unplugged Tour, nobody could have predicted the huge popularity that these concerts would receive. Le Play’s best songs from the last five albums in new, pared-down arrangements, embedded in his unique stories and anecdotes, moved and enthralled his audience – so much so that there will now be a sequel in March 2026.

Julian Le Play

When his first solo album was released, Chris Thile was just 13 years old. Since then, he has effortlessly maintained his reputation as the coolest mandolin player under the sun. Whether bluegrass, jazz, or classical: Thile can do it all, and he plays with such disarming ease and virtuosity that even music lovers who have already experienced some excellence are regularly left speechless. He has already performed at the Elbphilharmonie three times – solo in 2017 and 2022, and with the Punch Brothers in 2018 – and each time he was enthusiastically applauded by the audience.

Chris Thile, Mandoline

From the lively trumpet to the bulky tuba: in this one-day workshop, participants get to know various wind instruments – and even play themselves! The brass players of Symphoniker Hamburg reveal their tips and tricks here. Finally, using tubes and funnels, everyone makes their own instrument, which you may take home of course.

It is and remains a musical mystery: Schubert’s String Trio D 471, a fascinating fragment of a work which, although it remained unfinished, provides a deep insight into the composer’s melodic inventiveness and harmonic sensibility. Only the first movement is complete. The Andante sostenuto, which has only survived in fragmentary form and is rarely heard, although only 39 bars long, gives an idea of the further musical ideas Franz Schubert harboured for this trio. In the middle of the programme are two works for violin and violoncello that were written around 100 years apart: Maurice Ravel’s colourful sonata »A la mémoire de Claude Debussy« and the world premiere of a new work by David Philip Hefti, which was written especially for Hellen Weiß and Gabriel Schwabe.

Hellen Weiss / Zheng Wenxiao / Gabriel Schwabe

»Schumann’s music opens up a whole world of new musical forms for us, touching strings that his great predecessors have not yet touched.« This is how none other than Piotr Tchaikovsky enthused about his German colleague. In fact, Schumann – alongside Mozart and Mendelssohn – was a great role model for the creator of ‘Pathétique’, »Swan Lake« and co. In the music of the older Romantic composer, Tchaikovsky found »the echo of mysterious processes of our soul life that move the heart of today’s man.« So there are plenty of reasons to juxtapose selected works by the two »brothers in spirit«. In the Elbphilharmonie, the NDR Vokalensemble under Kaspars Putniņš, currently chief conductor of the Swedish and Latvian Radio Choirs, and the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra under star conductor Paavo Järvi will explore this affinity.

A large portion of the more than two million Mongolians still lead a nomadic life, in harmony and rhythm with nature and together with the "five jewels" of the Mongolian steppe: horse, camel, yak, sheep, and goat. Their singing practice is also deeply rooted in the natural environment: the human voice imitates animal sounds and depicts the landscapes in melodies. Two traditional singing forms from Mongolia can be experienced in the concert of the Tengerton Ensemble and the Erdenetsetseg Khenmedekh Trio: epic songs and the overtone singing "Khöömii," in which a single voice sings two notes simultaneously—a low one and a very high, spherical one above it.

Tengerton Ensemble & Erdenetsetseg Khenmedekh Trio

The hypnotic vocals of Rekpo, Mayunkiki, and Hisae, the three singers of the Japanese group Marewrew, unfold like dub music: They sit in a circle, one begins, the others join slightly out of phase. "Ukouk" is the name given to this traditional canon song of the Ainu, who have inhabited the northern region of the Japanese archipelago, particularly the island of Hokkaido, since ancient times. Marewrew's fresh versions shed new light on these fascinating songs, which have been passed down exclusively orally for generations. Traditionally sung by an all-female vocal group, the renowned Japanese musician OKI will join them for the concert at the Elbphilharmonie, not only singing but also playing hand percussion and the five-stringed Ainu harp, the tonkori.

In this workshop, participants can learn about a wide variety of stringed instruments: classical instruments from the symphony orchestra, such as the violin, viola, cello and double bass; added to this, other representatives, such as the mandolin, banjo and ukulele. A large harp is also available. With guidance, you can try the instruments; at the end, you also play together as a group.

In Bavaria, people yodel, in Scandinavia, they joik. And she is the figurehead of this Nordic musical tradition: the singer, songwriter, and activist Mari Boine. Since the early 1980s, she has released 14 albums, toured internationally, and brought the traditional joik, this ancient singing form of the Sami people from the Arctic regions of Sweden, Norway, and Finland, to warmer corners of the world. Now she is coming to the Elbphilharmonie with her latest album, "Alva," as part of the "Arctic Voices" festival.

Mari Boine

The two sisters Inuksuk Mackay and Tiffany Ayalik bring the traditional throat singing of the Inuit people up to date in a unique way with modern electronic beats – and are bringing it to Hamburg as part of the "Arctic Voices" festival. The centuries-old "Kattajaq" originally originated as a game to provide entertainment in arctic temperatures: Two women stand opposite each other, hold each other tightly, and sway to the rhythm of their breath. With their voices, they produce sounds that interlock, forming a rhythm – call and response. Who can go the longest without breathing, without losing their timing, coughing, or laughing? PIQSIQ begin each of their songs in this special way, but continue the game endlessly with electronic loops.

Piqsiq

She produces sounds that come from deep within the throat: Inuk Tanya Tagaq. "Kattajaq" is the name of this centuries-old, traditional Inuit throat singing, part of the cultural heritage of her ancestors. The singer grew up in Nunavut, Canada – one of the northernmost populated regions in the world, predominantly inhabited by Inuit people. Her musical breakthrough came spontaneously and unexpectedly as a support act for none other than Björk. Although the world tour also took her to Germany, it didn't end up in Hamburg – something the "Arctic Voices" festival is now delighted to make up for.

Tanya Tagaq / Jesse Zubot / Jean Martin

What do the home countries of all the guest artists and composers participating in this concert have in common? Denmark, Russia, Sweden, and Estonia border the Baltic Sea! And the creative potential of this cultural region is nothing short of legendary. Two of the most popular protagonists from there are now meeting with the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra: the Estonian star conductor Paavo Järvi and the exceptional Swedish clarinettist Martin Fröst, who has been invited as NDR Artist in Residence for 2025/2026.

"I write my own South Sami lyrics and songs because there was no South Sami music I could hear growing up," says the young singer Marja Mortensson, who was born into a reindeer herding family in Norway. Like no other, the now 30-year-old experiments with traditional joik singing, continually breathing new life into it – literally, together with jazz tubist Daniel Herskedal in her current project "Båalmaldahkesne – Entwined," which is traveling from Norway to Hamburg for the "Arctic Voices" festival.

What a concert evening! It begins with Beethoven's magnificent Prometheus Overture, dedicated to the Titan who brought fire to mankind and thus laid the foundation for our civilization. It concludes with Tchaikovsky's overwhelming "Pathétique" – whose mysterious aura is further enhanced by the fact that the composer died under mysterious circumstances just a few days after the premiere. In between, the most brilliant of all brilliants: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, whose dramatic Piano Concerto in D minor is illuminated in all its facets by young star Alexander Malofeev. Joining him on the podium is the London Philharmonic Orchestra, with the fantastic Karina Canellakis conducting.

"You can't call her talent, she's simply a genius." It was Herbert von Karajan who once knighted Anne-Sophie Mutter with these words. That was almost 50 years ago – and he was right: To this day, her name is synonymous with world-class violin performance. "If you want to get to know me, you have to see me on stage," the musician says of herself. Separating her life from music? Impossible. Her credo: Classical music belongs in everyday life, at the heart of society. She would have been on good terms with Pyotr Tchaikovsky on this point. Music was a refuge and an elixir for him. His magnificent violin concerto was written during difficult times and saved his life: "In such a state of mind, creation completely loses the character of work; it is pure bliss!"

London Philharmonic Orchestra / Anne-Sophie Mutter / Karina Canellakis

Wolfgang Muthspiel is one of the most influential jazz guitarists of our time. In the 1980s, the man with the smooth guitar sound and unerring picking technique left his native Austria for the USA, where he quickly made a name for himself with his versatile playing. He enhanced records by singers such as Rebekka Bakken, Maria João, and Youssou N'Dour and was invited to concerts and studio recordings by jazz giants such as John Patitucci. Since then, he has continued to expand into new spheres. In 2018, he introduced a new all-star trio with Scott Colley on bass and living legend Brian Blade on drums, both of whom enjoy the trust of greats such as Herbie Hancock and John Scofield.

The Hamburg State Orchestra's Philharmonic Concerts become time-plays, transcending the boundaries of the ordinary: This concert features Giorgi Gigashvili's interpretation of Bach and Bach-inspired music – not only as a pianist, but also as a composer. The third movement of the harpsichord concerto is replaced by his orchestration of the jazzy Peterson Suite, inspired by the original. Bach encounters us today as a mirror of the past and, through Gigashvili, as a part of the here and now. This unabashed musical interplay opens new perspectives on our musical culture, our thinking and being, and our way of receiving music.

This concert has to be postponed. The promoter is currently looking for an alternative date. Further information will be available here shortly. Tickets retain their validity.

When does a band achieve cult status? After around 20 years of existence and extensive networking throughout the city, Herrenmagazin has achieved cult status, at least in Hamburg – despite, or perhaps because of, a 10-year release hiatus. On their album "Du hast hier nichts verloren" (You Have Nothing to Lose Here), released in April 2025, the four-person band has evolved while remaining true to themselves: handcrafted indie rock, lots of guitar, a touch of punk, and lyrics with wit, depth, and a touch of rebellion.

With his masterfully composed Vespers Liturgy for choir a cappella, Rachmaninov transports the listener into a musical world of admirable depth and inwardness. Inspired by old modes, he created one of his most beautiful works. The »All-Night Vigil«, composed in 1915 for a benefit concert in Moscow in aid of war victims, takes up the fascinating tradition of Orthodox chants and reflects it profoundly. At the same time, Rachmaninov created a musical monument to his childhood memories and the religious soul of his homeland – a homeland he would soon leave. Rachmaninov himself described listening to his vesper liturgy as »an hour of the happiest satisfaction«.

What do balls, wheels and balloons have in common? They are all round, and they can all easily be converted into musical instruments! In »BALLads«, even the music revolves on its own axis: in rondos, waltzes and endless melodies from the baroque to the modern era.

Kindergarten Concert »Ballads«

As the youngest participant in the competition's history, Roman Borisov won the Kissinger Piano Olympus in 2022 – for his "highly musical, intuitive, and at the same time structurally aware interpretations," according to the jury's verdict. His recently released debut album with works by Sergei Rachmaninoff was also well received, with music critic Eleonore Büning praising his mastery and the "tender elegance" of the recording. Rachmaninoff will now also be a focal point of the young Russian's first appearance at the Elbphilharmonie, where he will expand this year's "Pianomania" theme, "Mazurka," to include other dances in triple time.

Roman Borisov / Klavierabend

They are the most famous pair of lovers of all time: Romeo and Juliet. The Italian bel canto composer Vincenzo Bellini created a particularly beautiful operatic version of their tragic story, whose melodious and captivating work will be performed by the Hamburg Ensemble Resonanz, the WDR Radio Choir, and a top-class line-up of soloists on stage in the Great Hall.

Maria Baptist is one of the most exciting pianists in contemporary jazz. In her new programme »The Solo Works«, she combines current compositions with central works from her repertoire - including the piano cycle »Hopes & Fears«, which was nominated for the German Record Critics’ Award.

Benjamin Appl is one of the most expressive artists of the young generation of singers and has been a household name among Hamburg's song fans since October 2023 at the latest. With full vocal commitment, he sang Robert Schumann's "Dichterliebe" in the Grand Hall of the Elbphilharmonie as a replacement for the ill Matthias Goerne. The verdict was unequivocal: "Breathtaking!" (Hamburger Abendblatt). Now he returns with this cycle and can unfold his "vast range of colors" (Süddeutsche Zeitung) all the more effectively in the intimacy of the Recital Hall. He will be joined by his longtime piano partner and one of the most renowned accompanists, James Baillieu.

Here, a zany jazz trio fronted by Danish Rune Thorsteinsson, proficient in all kinds of instruments from the mouth-blown melodica to body percussion. There, the award-winning young symphony orchestra »Ensemble Reflektor« full of energy. The result is a thrilling concert with a cool crossover that is simply fun – particularly as the audience may also repeatedly join in.

Trumpet and accordion – it sounds unusual, but they actually go together perfectly. Just like Lucienne Renaudin Vary and Félicien Brut. Both effortlessly bridge the boundaries between classical, jazz, and pop, blending diverse soundscapes. They skillfully blend the music of their French homeland with global sounds, proving that the accordion is rightfully the instrument of the year 2026!

"Noble simplicity and quiet grandeur"? No way! With their breathtaking operatic shocker "Elektra," Richard Strauss and his librettist Hugo von Hofmannsthal completely turned the 18th-century idealized image of antiquity on its head in 1909. Horror instead of humanism, revenge instead of a feat of glory, bloodbath instead of a flowering of culture: this one-act opera leaves no one unmoved to this day. And in terms of the musical language, Strauss and his mammoth orchestra also went to extremes in every respect.

Strauss: Elektra / Alan Gilbert

In Christian Fennesz's music, time seems to stand still and space dissolve. Since the 1990s, the musician has shaped the electronic music scene in Austria and far beyond. He creates his complex, multi-layered ambient sounds around the guitar. Often distorted beyond recognition, the instrument is Fennesz's trademark and unique selling point.

The Orchestra Academy of the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra prepares highly talented young instrumentalists for a career as professional musicians in a major international orchestra. The 15 academy students are part of the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra for two years. At their annual chamber concert, the stage belongs to them for one evening: They showcase their talent in the Recital Hall of the Elbphilharmonie, sometimes in classical and sometimes in unusual ensembles.

Julius Caesar and Cleopatra are one of the most famous love couples in human history. It's no wonder, then, that artists from all disciplines—from art to theater to film—have been inspired by the passionate relationship between the Roman general and the Egyptian pharaoh. The most impressive musical interpretation was achieved 300 years ago by George Frideric Handel in his opera "Giulio Cesare in Egitto," which, with its rich instrumentation and numerous musical ideas, remains one of the milestones of Baroque heroic opera. Now, the work will be performed for the first time in concert at the Elbphilharmonie with a prominent cast.

The full blast of orchestral sound: This season, the Royal Concertgebouw's regulars present Anton Bruckner's monumental Eighth Symphony at the Elbphilharmonie under the baton of the young star conductor Klaus Mäkelä. He will take over as Chief Conductor of the Dutch orchestra in 2027. Together, they are already testing the limits of this powerful symphony.

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.

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.

Even today, many in the music world shrug their shoulders at the mention of Arnold Schoenberg's name. Schoenberg's music is often considered overly intellectual and difficult to access. While that may perhaps be true of his revolutionary "twelve-tone music," his late Romantic works are the exact opposite: powerfully sonorous, emotional, and captivating. The symphonic poem "Pelleas and Melisande," for example, tells the story of two unhappily married couples who, because of their complicated pasts, cannot be reunited. The music traverses the entire emotional spectrum of its main characters—from the tenderest strains of love to furious jealousy to the most profound world-weariness.

It's all in the mix: Original works, visionary new creations, and original arrangements combine in the Kebyart saxophone quartet's programs to create a distinctive work of art. With explosive staging, the four likeable Catalans transform each of their concerts into an experience. These excellent musicians share not only a passion for chamber music, but also a strong desire to breathe new life into the traditional communication of classical music. Their brimming tour schedule demonstrates their success: from Barcelona to Paris and across Europe, Kebyart is in demand at festivals and concert series with innovative standards. The saxophone has never been so multifaceted before.

Patricia Kopatchinskaja and Christina Landshamer – two global stars, each outstanding in their own unique way. In this concert, the two artists will each have their own stage and will be supported by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and its Chief Conductor Gustavo Gimeno.

In the run-up to the performances of Richard Strauss's "Elektra," the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra and the NDR Vokalensemble, under their chief conductors Alan Gilbert and Klaas Stok, will devote a joint concert to other heroic myths in music. It becomes clear: the oft-praised heroism itself is a myth. For just as Elektra, in her supposedly self-sacrificing fight against injustice, becomes a possessed murderer herself, so too do the protagonists of this concert program "fail": Orpheus cannot free his wife Eurydice from the underworld because he is looking around for her; Napoleon, to whom Ludwig van Beethoven originally wanted to dedicate his "Eroica," tramples on the human rights he proclaimed; and Prometheus, another hidden "dedicatee" of the symphony that has itself become a myth, also makes several mistakes as the legendary originator of human civilization...

A major chapter in string quartet history is coming to a close: After more than 40 years as an ensemble, the Hagen Quartet is entering its final season. They bring a program to the Elbphilharmonie that revives the highlights of recent decades with works by Mozart, Schubert, and Weber.

Carolin and Jörg Widmann are among the most outstanding siblings in the international music world. With their extraordinary talents and artistic versatility, they have had a significant influence on musical life for around three decades. In their joint projects, the siblings combine their individual strengths and regularly invite high-calibre musicians from the international chamber music scene. Supported by established string quartets and other renowned guests, they create programmes that span two centuries of music history and include both classical and contemporary works. Their concerts range from dense chamber music quartets to solo concerts with a large string orchestra.

The Wacken sensation plays their first headlining tour. Metaklapa are already a piece of Wacken history: Their first ever public appearance took them to the »Wacken Open Air« festival in 2022. It was a sensational success. The six singers from Croatia stand for high-class polyphonic a cappella singing with uniquely arranged melodies and the lyrics of one of the greatest metal bands of all time: Iron Maiden. Never before have their songs been interpreted in such an innovative and sophisticated way. The name Metaklapa says it all: Klapa is a form of Dalmatian a cappella singing that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The fusion with a true world culture – the heavy metal of Iron Maiden – gives this tradition a new, international guise.

Few works convey the human struggle in the face of mortality, between hope and despair, light and shadow, as movingly as Johannes Brahms's "German Requiem." With an individual selection of biblical passages, the composer created a thoroughly personal promise of comfort, which he himself said he would have preferred to call "human" rather than "German." Christian Thielemann, the "sound gilder" (Hamburger Abendblatt), conducts the Staatskapelle Berlin.

Jean Rondeau, the rising star of the harpsichord, returns to the Elbphilharmonie with his latest project. In a marathon concert featuring three one-hour blocks and two intermissions, he will play exclusively works by the composer Louis Couperin, who has accompanied him since childhood: "He made the instrument sing like no one before him—and perhaps no one since."

Lisa Wulff, a true local hero, is coming to the Elbphilharmonie. For the "Jazz Bass" special, the Hamburg native has expanded her quartet with Philipp Schiepek and Andreas Dombert by two guitarists. With this lineup, the winner of the 2023 German Jazz Prize in the Bass category presents a highly anticipated new album

What should drive an artist? Curiosity, says cellist Kian Soltani. There's room for it everywhere – especially in classical music. The fact that the Austrian with Persian roots is full of thirst for knowledge and a love of experimentation is evident in every one of his concerts. This evening he takes on Tchaikovsky's cello cosmos and presents a piece of Russian late Romanticism with the Nocturne in D minor, originally written for piano and later reworked for cello and orchestra, as well as the famous Rococo Variations. Gustav Mahler, on the other hand, walks the border between Romanticism and Modernism. His Fifth Symphony symbolizes a turning point. From the somber opening funeral march to the radiant final chorale, this masterpiece offers a journey through melancholy, passion, and triumph and is in the best hands of the WDR Symphony Orchestra Cologne and Cristian Măcelaru.

Almost exactly nine years ago, the Elbphilharmonie organ was played for the first time in a solo concert. Since then, titular organist Iveta Apkalna, who was also at the console back then, has presented ever-expanding organ repertoire with exciting programs—this time including minimal music by Philip Glass and music by organ favorites Johann Sebastian Bach, Franz Liszt, and Pēteris Vasks.

"You feel almost embraced by the transparent harp sounds. There's no question that Brandee Younger has captured the hearts of the Hamburg audience with her music and charisma," enthused the Hamburger Abendblatt when the charismatic jazz harpist Brandee Younger made her debut in the Recital Hall of the Elbphilharmonie in October 2023. And even then, it prophesied: "The next time she comes, her path will probably lead not to the Recital Hall, but to the Grand Hall." How true!

Anyone who wins the junior section of the legendary International Tchaikovsky Competition at the age of 13 is under special scrutiny. Even ten years later, Alexander Malofeev continues to fulfill the associated expectations with flying colors. Since then, the Russian, dubbed a "world revolution on the piano" by the Wiener Standard, has collected numerous other prizes and performed with the world's greatest orchestras. In 2022, he stood in for Yevgeny Kissin with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra. "The audience went wild with enthusiasm," wrote the Frankfurter Rundschau. At the Elbphilharmonie, the still only 23-year-old now devotes himself to both the grand masters of Russian piano music and darkly shimmering works from Northern Europe.

When mandolin and bağlama meet, a dialogue is created between two cultures that have more in common than it seems at first glance. Derya Yıldırım and Avi Avital explore the connection between baroque, folklore and contemporary chamber music with the sonically experimental Ensemble Resonanz. Together they create an evening that rethinks traditions, tells stories and builds musical bridges – from Anatolia to Europe, between past and present.

Two days before the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of National Socialism, the Kammermusikfreunde invite you to an extraordinary concert evening dedicated to ostracised music. The first part of the concert will focus on works by Polish-Jewish composers whose work was persecuted under the Nazi regime and suppressed from musical life for a long time. The second part of the evening opens up new perspectives: Three German-Jewish cantors and a shofar (reverberating trombone) player present Jewish liturgical music - from traditional chants from Eastern Europe to compositions from the German and American liberal synagogue. The shofar, one of the oldest surviving instruments in the Bible and still an integral part of Jewish services today, lends the concert a special spiritual depth.

In the Audience Orchestra, dedicated amateurs rehearse with great enthusiasm and at a very high artistic level under conductor Michael Petermann, the director of the Hamburger Konservatorium. Each year the orchestra gives two performances in the Grand Hall and further concerts in Hamburg districts, in which they play the pieces they’ve been practicing so intensively.

Deep gorges, large rock pyramids in intense colors, vast forests and a breathtakingly wide starry sky: In his sound-painting work »Des canyons aux étoiles« (»From the Canyons to the Stars«), Olivier Messiaen invites you on a journey through the impressive national parks of the US state of Utah, which he once visited himself.

When three teenagers formed a piano trio in 2013, they were still students and performed under the name "Trio Chagall." More than ten years later, the three friends from Turin have become a professional trio, playing with Italian passion and now appearing as "rising stars" in Europe's prestigious concert halls. As their career progressed, a new name was needed: Inspired by Michelangelo, they called themselves "Trio Concept," with the vision of carving out the beauty of a work like a sculpture from a block of marble.

For the first time, Iceland, with the Harpa in Reykjavik, is participating in the European Concert Hall Organization's annual "Rising Stars" program, which sends young artists on tour through the continent's major concert halls. And with Álfheiður Erla Guðmundsdóttir, a singer from the Nordic island nation was directly nominated. She loves the poetic, mystical traditions of her country and is currently performing brilliantly not only on the major opera stages in Basel and Berlin, but also realizing unusual projects as a photographer and video artist.

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 cimbalom is a true chameleon: Like only the piano, the Hungarian dulcimer feels at home in all genres and styles. And so does Áron Horváth, who, as the European Concert Hall Organization's "Rising Star," tours the continent's major concert halls. With his World Music Quartet, the young cimbalom virtuoso will explore jazz and folk music from Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria at the Elbphilharmonie.

Some photos on Giorgi Gigashvili's Instagram profile suggest he's more likely to be in a Berlin techno club than on a classical concert stage. For the Georgian pianist, born in 2000, these worlds aren't so contradictory after all – he's playing sonatas by Scarlatti one moment, singing and accompanying folk songs from his homeland the next, and experimenting with electronic music shortly after. And with success: Prizes at prestigious piano competitions, a place among Georgia's Forbes magazine's most influential "30 under 30," and a nomination as a "Rising Star" by the European Concert Hall Organization all mark his young career.

A dubious meeting of heroes: The notorious womanizer Don Juan and the tragicomic Don Quixote would have little in common if Richard Strauss hadn't so brilliantly captured their fates in music. The Vienna Philharmonic will juxtapose the two symphonic poems in their ProArte program, bringing to life the stories of the literary-confused knight with his aide Sancho Panza and the momentous love affairs of the other Don. At the helm will be Daniel Harding, arguably one of the most interesting conductors of our time: after a meteoric start to his career, he put his baton aside for a while to pursue his second passion, flying as a pilot for Air France. Now, fortunately for audiences, he regularly conducts the finest orchestras again. Perhaps he'll even fly to the performance himself? Who knows.

There are countless string quartets—both ensembles and works—but saxophone quartets? With this lineup, the MAAT Saxophone Quartet is making a name for itself. As the European Concert Hall Organization's "Rising Star," they will tour throughout Europe in the 2025/26 season. After eight sold-out children's concerts in 2024, they will also return to the Elbphilharmonie with a program that showcases the quartet's diversity, with arrangements ranging from string quartets to piano concertos.

The Hamburg State Orchestra's Philharmonic Concerts become contemporary games, transcending the boundaries of the ordinary. This concert showcases the fruits of Mikhail Pletnev's inspiration – his new composition, based on Rachmaninoff's music, is juxtaposed with the original orchestral fantasy "The Rock." Rachmaninoff thus encounters us today as a mirror of the past and, through Pletnev, as a part of the here and now. This unabashedly engaging musical play opens new perspectives on our musical culture, our thinking and being, and our way of receiving music.

"Jean Sibelius' Violin Concerto is one of the most important works of my life," says Lisa Batiashvili. In 1995, she won second place at the renowned Sibelius Competition with this late-Romantic repertoire classic: the launch of her career. And to this day, the press continues to rave about the "glowing warmth" with which the violinist interprets the work. For her ProArte concert, the artist will be joined by the best possible partners: rising star Klaus Mäkelä and his Oslo Philharmonic, who thrilled audiences with a recording of the complete Sibelius symphonies in 2022. Complemented in the second half by the effervescent Lemminkäinen Suite, the artists present a magnificent homage to Finland's most famous composer to date.

Austrian cellist Valerie Fritz loves the extraordinary, the unusual. Even at the beginning of her studies at the Mozarteum Salzburg, she knew that a classical career with the standard repertoire was out of the question for her. Her self-confidence has already taken the young artist far: she has been nominated by the Elbphilharmonie, among others, and is a "Rising Star" in the European Concert Hall Organization (ECHO) season. With accordionist Goran Stevanovich, she explores the spatial, acoustic, and interpersonal aspects of the concert setting with music from Bach to the present day.

Klaus Mäkelä's career trajectory is an unprecedented upward trajectory – at not even 30 years old, the Finnish conductor has established a global profile and, as artist in residence for the 2024/25 season, has become a popular regular at the Elbphilharmonie. Now he celebrates his 30th birthday with "his" Oslo Philharmonic, star violinist Lisa Batiashvili, and a truly gifted program.

If Lucas Debargue's life were ever to be made into a film, there would be a lot to tell: At the age of nine, the Frenchman began to devote himself to classical music and piano, but a few years later, he gave it all up again – playing the electric bass in a rock band and studying literature initially seemed more interesting. It wasn't until he was 20 that he returned to the piano, but he now also performed as a jazz pianist. At the renowned 2015 Tchaikovsky Competition, Debargue "only" placed fourth, but became a crowd favorite during the competition, laying the foundation for his international career.

Die Prinzen have ruled the German pop landscape for 35 years and quite rightly so! With an unmistakable sound, great hits and a good pinch of humour, they have not only sung their way into the charts, but also into the hearts of millions of fans. Six million records sold, 16 gold and platinum discs, two Echo Music Awards and numerous other prizes are proof of this: This band is no one-hit wonder, but the royal elite of German pop! Whether it’s »Millionär«, »Mann im Mond«, »Küssen verboten« or »(Du musst) ein Schwein sein« – their songs have long since become part of the DNA of German-language music. In 2026, they are presenting themselves live to their fans with a very special production to mark the band’s 35th anniversary and are touring Germany with »Symphonica«: a best-of their songs, in new arrangements for symphony orchestra.

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!

Pianist and ECHO Klassik prizewinner Sebastian Knauer performs together with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra from Hamburg’s twin city Prague under the baton of American conductor and Emmy Award winner Sarah Hicks at the Elbphilharmonie Grand Hall. The programme includes Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Concerto KV 466 and George Gershwin’s »Concerto in F«, two of the most famous and beautiful piano concertos of all time. Combined with great romanticism by Czech composers Antonín Dvořák (Slavonic Dances) and Bedřich Smetana (Vltava).

Whether it’s »Hedwig«, »Nimbus 2000«, »Dobby«, »Gilderoy Lockhart«, »Aunt Marge« or the magical »Night Bus«: the characters and stories of the »Harry Potter« series are world-famous. And the great film scores by John Willimas have also been taking young and old on journeys to magical places and daring adventures for decades. In this family concert, the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra plays highlights from the films »Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone«, »Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban« and »Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets«.

"Some pianists are capable of setting their instrument ablaze from the very first note." This comment by a reviewer is, of course, not to be taken literally, but it nevertheless reveals much about Ilya Shmukler's pianistic temperament. "All or nothing" – with this motto, the Moscow native not only captured the jury of the renowned Concours Géza Anda 2024 by storm, but also the hearts of the audience. "Virtuoso," "brilliant," "a volcano," "an exceptional phenomenon"—these and similar descriptions can be read after his concerts. With a program ranging from Mozart to Chopin to Rachmaninoff, Ilya Shmukler will also be setting the sparks flying at ProArte.

»Young, cool and brilliant: This is the string quartet of the future« (Sydney Morning Herald): the vision string quartet has generated enthusiasm worldwide for years – also because it is so unlike other string quartets. The four young musicians from Berlin, who also see themselves as a band, enjoy experimenting with concert formats and not only play classical works, but also their own pieces in which they dive into many musical worlds, from folk, pop and rock to minimal music. With exactly the same, varied programme of classical quartet works, poppy pieces (and perhaps one or two surprises), they now make a guest appearance at the Elbphilharmonie.

Now that's what you call a well-rehearsed team! Joshua Bell has been Music Director of the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields since 2011 and sees himself as primus inter pares. When necessary, the star violinist also leads the traditional orchestra as soloist in the violin concerto. This is not a given when Johannes Brahms's Violin Concerto is on the podium. The demanding work usually requires a conductor alongside the soloist – just like Robert Schumann's romantic First Symphony. But Joshua Bell and his Academy love the direct contact: "This orchestra knows me so well that they can interpret all my gestures. They know what I mean when I raise my eyebrows or bend my knees." Moreover, the highly virtuosic Brahms Concerto is considered a sonic symbol of the indissoluble bond between soloist and orchestra: it is the first violin concerto in music history of a symphonic nature.

"After the second encore, the hall is in a frenzy," the Abendblatt newspaper observed after Hayato Sumino's brilliant debut in the Recital Hall of the Elbphilharmonie. It was only natural that he would be invited back immediately afterward! And this time, the audience will be treated to a welcome in the Grand Hall of the Japanese YouTube star, who is causing a sensation there under the pseudonym "Cateen." On screen, he delights millions of viewers with his sensitive original compositions and spectacular arrangements of classics like Ravel's "Boléro." He only recently ventured into the "real world," onto international stages—with tremendous success. His first album for the Sony Classical label was also released shortly afterward.

Joja Wendt’s New Year concert in the Elbphilharmonie kicks off the New Year in exuberant, genre-transcending style. Traditionally, it’s an evening full of musical surprises with a reasonable chance that Hamburg’s incumbent mayor, Till Brönner, Tom Gaebel, Götz Alsmann or musical companions such as Inga Rumpf and Abi Wallenstein will drop by as surprise guests.
