Weihnachtskonzert des Georg-Friedrich-Händel-Gymnasiums
Like racism and any other form of marginalisation, anti-Semitism can have no place in our society. Even under the current fraught circumstances, we must not allow ourselves to be guided by hatred and provocation. We can all make a contribution to this.
I particularly enjoy playing with my “Horensteinern”, we have known each other for a long time, are well-rehearsed and will certainly be making music together for many years to come. This time the program includes E.T.A. Hoffmann's Harp Quintet.
A stroke of luck for the upcoming Christmas Oratorio: beside others, all the arias and choral movements from two cantatas from 1733 ("Lasst uns sorgen, lasst uns wachen" BWV 213 and "Tönet, ihr Pauken" BWV 214) found their place in it with new text.
What was your initial spark to explore other art forms besides music? Music arises from silence, poetry from a white page, and painting from a blank canvas. I started playing the piano and composing music at four years old.
On the other hand, some parts of the audience were agitated by the fact that "Sacre" brought the sacrifice of a young woman to an archaic spring god onto the stage. It didn't belong there in the opinion of those who expected edification from culture.

Which other instrument besides your own would you like to master? I would love to be able to play the accordion – I think it’s a totally underrated, brilliant instrument.
Apart from the fact that it was and is always an experience to play under Iván Fischer, this concert rises above all others. I experienced the shared intensity of emotion between musicians and audience as something very special.
Among us musicians, as everywhere else, there are different types: some need less time alone to be at peace with themselves , others more. Some like to retreat into their own space during their free time.
Because five trumpets, four of each of the woodwinds, a large string and a full percussion section (plus a couple of other instruments) are also required, the Konzerthausorchestra will fill the stage to capacity.
Unlike others, he did not revise the work to any great extent. There is only one version, the autograph of which is kept in the Vienna National Library.
Other critics might think that I'm making fun of feminism and the interchangeability of the sexes. That it seems a bit like a parody of our time. That would be a shame, I just want to offer food for thought and initiate a discussion.
I connect the orchestra to the HR department, but also to all other areas in the organisation, because everyone here has something to do with the orchestra.
We support the others. Nilay: It's a very important voice. If we're missing, there's no harmony! Finally: Are you patient enough for our elevator? Peiyi: No way! It takes so long for the door to close!
His works combine design, 3D aesthetics and theory to create immersive, performative visual worlds and have been shown at CTM/transmediale, ZKM, Sonar+D and the Centre Pompidou, among others. Lucas Gutierrez lives in Berlin.
Our guests in the 2023/24 season include violin stars Julia Fischer and Christian Tetzlaff, pianists Lucas & Arthur Jussen and Jan Lisiecki, the Dresdner Kreuzchor, world-class stars such as Elisabeth Leonskaja, Hélène Grimaud and many others.
We also got to know each other personally in direct discussions about her scores.
No other section is that large. Good to know that the violin is a team player; its timbre makes the others instruments shine.
But when it gets a bit more complicated and it's about really getting involved with another person, with other ideas or melodies that you're not used to, then you have to pay more attention and really listen.
