Only beauty breaks the mould.
Your desire for new experiences and your enthusiasm for the thematic programmes from the previous season have overwhelmed and encouraged me. This is why concerts in the 2024/25 season are inspired by opera titles and themes or address topical issues. We explore the mysterious connection between Mozart’s Magic Flute and Mahler’s 7th Symphony, Tchaikovsky’s life inspired us to look at homosexual composers, and we examine issues like “degenerate music” and emigration. The premiere of Sleep no more, a commissioned work for organ and orchestra, is directly based on Macbeth and plumbs the expressiveness of the organ in a secular context. As we continue our Dreiklang series we have found three new venues, and are including our two capellmeisters as programme organisers and conductors for the first time.
In our external concerts, we will experience the golden ratio as a sort of therapeutic disruption to symmetry, among many other things. Hans Werner Henze, whom we quote for our season’s slogan, spend his life searching for “wild euphony”. Let’s discover the beauty beyond social conventions and normality together. Stay curious!
