About the Shows
Since 2003, celebrating New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day with the DSO and Circus Roncalli in the Tempodrom has been considered the absolute highlight at the turn of the year. The shows are sold out in no time at all. Who needs a Viennese waltz on New Year’s Day morning? The real fireworks go off at the Tempodrom: with a brilliant orchestra, with conductor Lee Reynolds, and with Bernhard Paul’s international top ensemble in the ring. Breathtaking artistry, the funniest clowns, and DSO’s virtuoso bassists enter into a symbiosis of symphonic beauty, glittering elegance, and pure thrills.
Wei Lu ist Erster Konzertmeister des Deutschen Symphonie-Orchesters Berlin.
Im Alter von drei Jahren erhielt Wei Lu den ersten Geigenunterricht von seinem Vater, später studierte er am Zentralen Konservatorium seiner Heimatstadt Beijing bei Wang Zhilong und Lin Yaoji. Weitere Anregungen und Förderung erhielt er von den Großen des Fachs wie Isaac Stern, Ruggieri Ricci, Itzhak Perlmann, Salvatore Accardo, Igor Oistrach, Ida Haendel, Uto Ughi und Yuri Bashmet. 1997 hörte ihn Anne-Sophie Mutter in Bejing spielen und nahm ihn als ersten Geiger in ihre Stiftung auf. Während der Zeit seines Stipendiums bis 2003 vertiefte er die Studien bei Franco Gulli in Bloomington, Indiana, bei Herman Krebbers in Amsterdam sowie bei Ingolf Turban an der Staatlichen Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Stuttgart.
Wei Lu hat zahlreiche Konzerte und Rezitals in Europa, Nord- und Südamerika, Australien und Asien gespielt und als Solist mit renommierten Orchestern wie dem London Symphony Orchestra, dem Nationalen Symphonieorchester des Polnischen Rundfunks, dem Royal Scotland National Orchestra sowie dem China National Symphony Orchestra, dem China Philharmonic Orchestra und dem Singapore Symphony Orchestra zusammengearbeitet. Mit Solo-Konzerten ist er weltweit in den bedeutendsten Konzertsälen, u. a. in der Berliner Philharmonie, der Carnegie Hall New York, dem Musikverein Wien und dem Sydney Opera House, aufgetreten.
Als erster chinesischer Geiger war Wei Lu außerdem Gast-Konzertmeister der Berliner Philharmoniker und wurde zu Orchestern wie dem Asia Philharmonic Orchestra, den Bamberger Symphonikern, dem Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, dem NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, dem Orchestre symphonique de Montréal sowie den Orchestern des Münchner und Nürnberger Opernhauses eingeladen.
Seit 2009 gibt Wei Lu regelmäßig Meisterklassen für Solo- und Kammermusik an der Great Wall International Music Academy in Beijing. Mit Anne-Sophie Mutter ist er seit 2011 jährlich als Kammermusikpartner und Konzertmeister im Rahmen von ›Mutters Virtuosi‹ zu erleben. Gemeinsame Gastspielreisen führten ihn u. a. nach Beijing, Shanghai, Chicago, New York, Washington, D.C., Luzern und München.
For more than 70 years the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin (DSO Berlin) has distinguished itself as one of Germany's leading orchestras. The number of renowned music directors, the scope and variety of its work, and its particular emphasis on modern and contemporary music, makes the ensemble unique. Founded as the RIAS Symphony Orchestra in 1946, it was renamed the Radio Symphony Orchestra Berlin in 1956 and has borne its current name since 1993.
At the beginning of the 2017-18 season Robin Ticciati took on the position as music director, carrying on a great tradition. As the first music director, Ferenc Fricsay defined the standards in terms of repertoire, acoustic ideal and media presence. In 1964, the young Lorin Maazel assumed artistic responsibility. In 1982, he was followed by Riccardo Chailly and in 1989 by Vladimir Askenazy. Kent Nagano was appointed music director in 2000. Since his departure in 2006, he has been associated with the orchestra as an honorary conductor.
From 2007 to 2010, as the successor to Nagano, Ingo Metzmacher set decisive accents in the concert life of the capital with progressive programmes and consistent commitment to the music of the 20th and 21st centuries. Since September 2012, the North Ossetian Tugan Sokhiev has been music director of the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin.
Apart from its concerts in Berlin, the DSO is also present in many guest appearances in international music life. The orchestra has held performances in the major concert halls of Europe, North and South America, the Near, Middle and Far East. The DSO is also in demand worldwide with many award-winning CD recordings. In 2011, it was awarded a Grammy Award for the best opera recording for the production of Kaija Saariaho's ›L'amour de loin‹ conducted by Kent Nagano. In September 2017 the first CD of the DSO and Robin Ticciati has been released on the Linn Records label.
The Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin is an ensemble of the Radio Orchestra and Choirs GmbH (roc berlin). The shareholders are Deutschlandradio, the Federal Republic of Germany, the State of Berlin and Radio Berlin-Brandenburg.
