What does music mean for us today? Can it offer sanctuary, an alternative to our fast-paced society? Does it provide an outlet for religious, mythical, even fantastical ideas? The festival ‘Music & Healing’ explores these ideas with compositions by von Bingen, Dowland and Bach, all the way to overtone singing and 21st century music, featuring masterpieces such as Wagner’s ‘Tristan und Isolde’, Stravinsky’s ‘Le sacre du printemps’ or Scriabin’s ‘Poème de l’extase’. Join the orchestra and Robin Ticciati for a spiritual journey through the world of music. All four concerts are available in a discounted festival package.
Just in time for the start of the season, a new joint recording of the DSO and its principal conductor Robin Ticciati with the world-renowned violinist Christian Tetzlaff will be released on 2 September on the Ondine label, co-producced by rbbKultur. After a highly acclaimed recording of violin concertos by Beethoven and Sibelius, the artistic partners now devote themselves to violin concertos by Brahms and Berg.
Together with two conductors and three soloists, the DSO is touring Germany, Austria and Switzerland this autumn. With its principal conductor Robin Ticciati, the pianist Emanuel Ax, Brahms' First Piano Concerto and Rachmaninoff's Third Symphony, the orchestra will give guest performances from 21 October at the Philharmonie Essen, the Victoria Hall Geneva, the Tonhalle Zurich (picture), the Casino Bern and the Stadthalle Aschaffenburg.
With its Conductor Laureate Kent Nagano and the pianist Nikolai Lugansky, the DSO closed out its season at the Kissinger Sommer festival. The programme included Franz Schubert's Fifth Symphony and the Second Piano Concerto by Johannes Brahms. The concert is available as video-on-demand on the DSO Player.
Together with soprano Anna Prohaska and conductor Giovanni Antonini, the DSO will be in Turkey for two concerts at the beginning of June – in Ankara and at the Istanbul Music Festival. The programme includes overtures and concert arias by Beethoven, Hadyn and Mozart as well as Beethoven's Second Symphony.
Due to the latest regulations, there are currently no restrictions when attending concerts. Accordingly, all distance rules as well as the testing and masking obligation are no longer applicable for our events.
