This lighthearted matinee featuring everything from classical to pop will make the walls at the venerable Semper Oper shake! The exceptional all-round musician Friedrich Gulda, who passed away in 2000, wrote a five-movement Concerto for Cello and Brass Ensemble, which he dedicated to Heinrich Schiff in 1980. It begins in a funky rock tone and ends with an Alpine folk melody. The solo part will be played by Jan Vogler, not only the Intendant of the Dresdner Musikfestspiele and an outstanding cellist, but also a former student of Heinrich Schiff, bringing matters full circle. He is accompanied by the Berlin Philharmonic Brass ensemble, combining the legendary orchestra’s sound with boundless enthusiasm across all genres. The concert is conducted by Anna Handler, born in 1994 and raised in Munich – one of the most promising young conductors of her generation. The program continues with the high-carat ensemble playing toe-tapping arrangements for brass instruments.
