  • Kammerorchester Des Symphonieorchesters Des BR
    Kammerorchester des Symphonieorchesters des BR The Chamber Orchestra of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra was founded by Radoslaw Szulc and Karl Wagner in 2000 to mark the 50th anniversary of the symphony orchestra. Thus emerged a flexible collective of virtuosic players dedicated to cultivating the chamber music ideal. As primus inter pares Radoslaw Szulc oversees the ensemble’s artistic direction. The ensemble has been hailed by the Sueddeutsche Zeitung ”…from the start a first-rate orchestra with its own character. Their sophisticated playing has differentiated structures of communication as well as musical verve…they give special attention to a full sound and achieve the aspired ideal with utmost instrumental precision.” TV and CD productions quickly followed, starting with Tchaikovsky´s works for string orchestra. The chamber orchestra became known early on for its homogenous and lush string sound. They appear frequently in the major musical centers of Europe as well as at international festivals. The chamber orchestra developed a close friendship with Hélène Grimaud and Frank Peter Zimmermann. In 2011 Mozart´s piano concertos in F Major KV 459 and in A Major KV 488 featuring Hélène Grimaud were released by Deutsche Grammophon and became number one on the US Classic Charts. In 2014 the chamber orchestra began recording all of the Mozart violin concertos with Frank Peter Zimmermann; even before completion of the project in 2015 the first part of the recordings appeared in the Classic Charts. The orchestra has also recorded several Bach violin concertos featuring Lisa Batiashvili for Deutsche Grammophon. The chamber orchestra frequently collaborates with other famous soloists such as Lang Lang, Julia Fischer, Mischa Maisky, Sabine Meyer, Pinchas Zukerman, Diana Damrau, Igor Levit, Vadim Repin, Janine Jansen und Maxim Vengerov.

  • Ode to Joy Your Philadelphia Orchestra SPRING 2020 IMPACT REPORT
    Ode to Joy Your Philadelphia Orchestra SPRING 2020 IMPACT REPORT “We want to share the joy of music, the impact and the power of music, the music that we believe in. This is a journey, and we are the grateful caretakers of this magnificent orchestra.” —Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Music Director Walter and Leonore Annenberg Chair We were inspired to give this issue of your Impact Report a theme: Ode to Joy. Of course, the famous theme from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony was an inspiration, but more broadly we want this issue to demonstrate how your generous support helps The Philadelphia Orchestra bring the joy of music to people around the world. Thank you! Music that Transforms A Philadelphia Orchestra season features performances of hundreds of musical works, ranging from beloved classics to new commissions. What ties this vast array of pieces together is their shared power to transform audience members and the musicians on stage. Every season includes several monumental works that demand something special from the Orchestra. They are symphonies, operas, and choral works that, in some cases, are rarely performed because of the special preparation required. This season’s transformative works include Richard Strauss’s highly charged opera Elektra, Gershwin’s beloved classic Porgy and Bess, Ravel’s enchanting fairy tale opera L’Enfant et les sortilèges, Bach’s epic Mass in B minor, and Mahler’s ever-popular Symphony No. 5. “There is this sense of awe,” said Yannick about the Mass in B minor, “and yet it’s about our own relationship with the divine or anything that is spiritual—the harmony of the world.
