We have had our first O/MODERNT-inspired con - certs at the Muziekgebouw aan’t IJ in Amsterdam and have embarked on exciting collaborations with the Bath, St Magnus and SONORO festivals. The O/MODERNT Kammarorkester will also have its inaugural season at Musikaliska, with a series of concerts throughout the year. The orchestra has been invited to perform at Young Euro Classic 2014 in Berlin and at King’s Place in London in 2015. As always, however, the highlight of the year is the weeklong musical feast at the enchanting rococo theatre Confidencen in the month of June. This year Christoph Willibald Gluck is the inspiring muse. The Bavarian composer reacted strongly upside down and fused with Gluck in the creation against the overly ornate and often superficial of a neoclassical jazz. Purcell will encounter the operatic practices of his contemporaries and, in his pop legend Prince ... and much more! own music and plots, strove for what he called a “noble simplicity”. It is this neoclassical turn that Come and enjoy a festival bathed in the light of lends the 2014 edition of the festival its leitmotif. music marked by “noble simplicity and calm grandeur”! Gluck’s operatic, symphonic and chamber works prepare our musical palate for masterworks of the neoclassical style by Stravinsky, Poulenc, Hindemith, Britten and Prokofiev. The Greek gods inspire the composition of new works and a spectacle of rock Hugo Ticciati balancing. Stravinsky’s L’histoire du soldat will be danced to with a paintbrush, and then turned 5 VÄLKOMSTORD Det har varit ett händelserikt år för O/MODERNT. Vi hade vår första konsert på Muziekgebouw aan’t IJ i Amsterdam och har inlett spännande samarbeten med musikfestivalerna Bath, St Magnus i Storbritannien och SONORO i Bukarest. Vår egen kammarorkester kommer därtill att ge fyra konserter på Musikaliska under kommande säsong. Orkestern är även inbjuden till Young Euro Classics 2014 i Berlin och till Kings Place i London 2015. Årets höjdpunkt är som alltid musikfesten i juni på Ulriksdals Slottsteater Confidencen, Stockholms rokokoteater. I år är Christoph Willibald Gluck den inspirerande musan. Den bayerske tonsättaren reage - rade starkt mot hans samtida kollegors överornamen - terade och ofta ytliga operastil. I sin egen musik och Kom och låt dig glädjas av en festival badande i ett sina operaintriger strävade han vad han kallade ”ädel musikaliskt ljus präglat av ”ädel enkelhet” och ”rofylld enkelhet”. Denna neoklassiska strävan är ledmotivet storslagenhet”. för festivalen 2014. Glucks operor, symfonier och kammarmusikstycken förbereder oss för neoklassiska mästerverk av Stravinskij, Poulenc, Hindemith, Britten och Prokofjev. De grekiska gudarna får inspirera nya kompositioner. Hugo Ticciati Så även i ett spektakulärt inslag med nervkittlande stenbalansering. Stravinskijs L’histoire du soldat blir till en dans med en pensel för att sedan vändas upp och ner och förenas med Gluck i en neoklassisk jazz.

Early in the eighteenth century drinking songs replaced the braying of horses, the building by then housing a tavern. It was in 1753, at the instigation of Queen Lovisa Ulrika (1720-82), that the architect Carl Fredrik Adelcrantz transformed the building into a theatre.

  • Musikfest Berlin 2021 Programm
    #MusikfestBerlin 28.8.– 20.9. 2021 2., aktualisierte Auflage In Zusammenarbeit mit 28.8.– 20.9. 2021 MUSIKFEST BERLIN 2021 Von der Freude an der musikalischen Kreation Das Spätwerk Igor Strawinskys beim Musikfest Berlin 2021 mit Musik von Carlo Gesualdo bis zu Heiner Goebbels und Olga Neuwirth Vom 28. August bis 20. September 2021 startet das Berliner Konzertleben mit dem Musikfest Berlin in die neue Spiel zeit, veranstaltet von den Berliner Festspielen, in Kooperation mit der Stiftung Berliner Philharmoniker. In 34 Veranstaltun­ gen wird im Großen Saal der Philharmonie und deren Kam­ mermusiksaal, im Konzerthaus am Gendarmenmarkt und im Großen Sendesaal des rbb Musik aus fünf Jahrhunderten präsentiert: über 100 Werke von 52 Komponist*innen, aufge­ führt von 29 Instrumental­ und Vokalensembles und 35 Solist*innen des internationalen und Berliner Musiklebens. Man hat ihn den Picasso unter den Komponist*in- nen genannt. Als Igor Strawinsky vor 50 Jahren 88-jährig verstarb, war ein Lebenswerk entstanden, das dem des Malers zu gleichen scheint: voll der überraschenden Wandlungen, Aneignungen und Umformungen, souverän der Zeit eine unver- kennbare Gestalt gebend, die Provokation und Extravaganz nicht scheuend, bewundert und gefeiert, getragen von der unverbrüchlichen Freude an der musikalischen Kreation (plaisir de la création), wie er in seiner „Musikalischen Poetik“ schrieb. „Strawinsky bleibt“ (Stravinsky demeure) prognostizierte der junge Pierre Boulez 1951. Da war Strawinsky gerade im Begriff, sich künstlerisch nochmals neu zu erfinden. Sein entdeckerischer Sinn wandte sich der historisch fernen Musik der Renaissance, des Frühbarocks und Mittelalters zu. Insbesondere fesselten ihn die Madrigale des 2 ital ­­ienischen Fürsten Don Carlo Gesualdo da Venosa. Das war die eine Blickrichtung.

    F EU E Sommer-FestivalR D 14. August – 13. September 2020 Programm Liebe Musikfreundinnen und Musikfreunde as fällt Ihnen als erstes ein zu Ludwig van Beethoven, dessen 250. Geburtstag wir 2020 feiern? «Freude, schöner Götterfunken» vielleicht? Keine schlechte Idee: Für Beethoven war die Freude, dieses göttliche WGefühl, ein Leitmotiv beim Komponieren – er selbst sah sich als Feuerbringer, als Bote des Götterfunkens, den seine Musik zünden sollte.

Mit Friedrich Schillers berühmten Versen bescheinigt er der Freude: «Deine Zauber binden wieder, / was die Mode streng geteilt; / alle Menschen werden Brüder, / wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt.» Was für ein aktueller Gedanke! Heute teilt «die Mode», also der Zeitgeist, die Gesellschaft mehr denn je. Weltweit öffnet sich die Kluft zwischen Links und Rechts oder Arm und Reich.
