»Future« is the motto of the Hamburg International Music Festival 2025, with Hamburg’s orchestras and top-class international guests once again putting together a varied programme for the glittering season finale.
Based on Büchner’s famous drama, »Wozzeck« was a huge success in 1925. The captivating opera about the anti-hero, who fights for recognition in a bad world and fails, is still impressively relevant 100 years later.
He is regarded as one of the world's best organists: Olivier Latry is organist at Notre Dame Church in Paris. There he recently played the programme with which he is now coming to Hamburg – music rich in tradition from his predecessors and virtuoso impros
The orchestra surges like an agitated sea, waves of sound rush and slosh through the instrumental groups. John Luther Adam’s work »Become Ocean« sets the big questions about the origin and future of life to hypnotic music.
»mmmmmozart« is the motto of this concert of Ensemble Resonanz: the Hamburg orchestra with a penchant for unusual programmes joins viola star Nils Mönkemeyer and pianist William Youn to perform W.A. Mozart in combination with contemporary works.
A highlight at the end of the Hamburg International Music Festival: Iván Fischer conducts the Budapest Festival Orchestra in Mahler’s great »Resurrection Symphony«. The finale features not only two star sopranos, but also the Hamburg CPE Bach Choir.
Igor Stravinsky, Sergei Prokofiev and Dmitri Shostakovich left their mark on Russian music in the 20th century. Shooting star Geniušas devotes himself to them in a programme with contemporaries who were all enthusiastic about new machines and techniques.
An illustrious ensemble led by guitarist Sean Shibe and mezzo-soprano Ema Nikolovska dedicates itself to Pierre Boulez’s surrealist song cycle, entitled »The Hammer without a Master«. The music of the composer legend is joined by more recent works.
The Symphoniker Hamburg celebrate the end of the season with piano legend Martha Argerich and the festival dedicated to her. Ten days in the Laeiszhalle, packed with orchestral and chamber music, with stars and up-and-coming talents.
One of the most promising young string quartets does the honours at the end of the Teatime Classics season. The programme includes a Beethoven favourite and a discovery. And to kick things off: coffee and cake in the Brahms Foyer.
Two symphony favourites are on the programme of the Laeiszhalle Residence Orchestra. Mozart’s »little« G minor Symphony achieved fame with the »Amadeus« film. Mahler’s monumental Fifth also found its way into film history with the »Adagietto«.
The Arabic lute oud and its music meet jazz: Anouar Brahem is a master at elegantly combining cultures and genres. He has found allies in Anja Lechner, Dave Holland and Django Bates, who join him on his musical journeys.
