Young artists, fascinating music, unusual performance venues – this is the mixture that the Dresden Music Festival’s subscription series Abo U 30 offers especially for a younger audience. Innovative formats transcend genre boundaries and open new perspectives onto concert forms of the 21st century. Abo U 30 offers young people (up to the age of 30) a subscription for four selected events. The tickets can be bought until May 18, 2010.

21.5.2010 | 8 pm - Messe Dresden
Let's dance! The Firebird
The Hall explodes: Stravinsky’s Firebird collides with Mussorgsky’s Witches’ Sabbath. Typically Russian, original and hot – truly unforgettable. Exciting music, enthusiastic dancers – experience it live and first-hand.

27.5.2010 | 8 pm - Hochschule für Musik
Deutsche Streicherphilharmonie & Sanderling
When the »Queen of Jazz« goes classic, new sound worlds open up. The young Russian saxophone player Asya Fateyeva and Germany’s best young musicians agree with the composer Glazunov when they say: »It might sound crazy, but I like jazz!« >>

2.6.2010 | 8 pm - Kulturpalast
WDR Symphony Orchestra - Bychkov - Vogler
Scandalous, chaotic, primitive, this music was called, even the downfall of the Western world: but still, after almost one hundred years, the music of Stravinsky’s “Rite” blows us away, just as the new Cello Concerto by Mansurian written for Jan Vogler at its Dresden premiere. >>

4.6.2010 | 8 pm - Frauenkirche
Theatre of Voices & Hillier
Old or new? The answer to this question can be found in the music of this world-famous Estonian: Arvo Pärt. His “floating” sounds reach far beyond the boundaries of the classical music world. >>

Ticket sale for the Dresden Music Festival 2011

from November 1, 2010

Prospect and retrospect

The Dresden Music Festival gets in the mood for 2011 – with a special concert and a new venue! In order to thank its audience for the great reception in 2010 and to ease the waiting for the coming season simultaneously, the next concert highlight is already scheduled for October 20, 2010. That evening at 8pm, the Singapore Symphony Orchestra and Jan Vogler are going to perform in the bright inner courtyard of the recently opened Albertinum in Dresden. The complete program of the next festival (May 18 to June 5, 2011) will be announced mid-October. – The Dresden Music Festival has left »Russlandia«, but not without keeping the memories of the 2010 festival alive. Anybody who wants to remember the wonderful atmosphere and the outstanding artistic performances may have a look at the impressions linked here.

Favorite tunes on CD

In 2007, Jan Vogler had already recorded some of his favored pieces for his album »My Tunes«, with music ranging from Bach to Mancini. For »My Tunes 2«, the cellist has again chosen some popular melodies, and did another recording together with the Dresdner Kapellsolisten for Sony Classical. This new album focuses on the »human voice« of the cello, including dreamy opera arias and songs by Gluck, Mendelssohn-Bartholdy and Wagner, but also »Oblivion« by tango-king Astor Piazzolla. »My Tunes 2« is available in stores and in our online shop from June 18.
