Summer, sun, music: the »Elbphilharmonie Summer« 2022 programme is jam-packed. With three major American orchestras, jazz legend Kenny Barron, the globally popular Sons of Kemet, and two film concerts.
On Saturday evening, at prime time, the Audience Orchestra will take to the stage of the Grand Hall. The orchestra is one of five participatory ensembles. At the Elbphilharmonie you can not only listen to music, you can join in and make music yourself!
No fewer than four American orchestras can be heard at the Elbphilharmonie in the 2022/23 season. The season is opened by the Philadelphia Orchestra, with a piece by Samuel Barber and otherwise only music by black composers.
Actually, »Fräulein Else« from 1929 is a silent film. But now the cabaret duo Maschek underlay the scenes live with unexpected and extremely entertaining dialogue. The East Tyrolean ensemble Musicbanda Franui plays a new soundtrack.
Jazz, hip-hop, Afrobeat: with brass sounds and several drums, the hip London band Sons of Kemet makes their audience dance. But the latest project of the troupe around saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings is also a strong political statement.
The silent film »Phantom« (1922) by the legendary director Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau tells the story of an unrequited love. The Viennese contemporary music ensemble Phace plays a new soundtrack to the expressionist images.
This work can knock you over: to open the season, the world-famous orchestra from Vienna presents Olivier Messiaen's monumental Turangalîla Symphony. Multiversum artist Esa-Pekka Salonen is on the rostrum, while Yuja Wang is the piano soloist.
Traditional music from Korea, whirling dervishes and Ukrainian folk music: the whole world is appearing at the Elbphilharmonie. Globetrotters will find what they what in the series »Klassik der Welt«, »Around the World« and the 2022/23 festivals.

The list of musicians pianist Kenny Barron has performed with reads like a Who’s Who of bebop, hard bop and mainstream jazz. Barron was a sought-after sideman for many years, but he, now almost 80, is also a gifted soloist and bandleader.
The American pianist Jason Moran has had a huge influence on modern jazz – with his improvisations, compositions and technique. He can play with breath-taking agility, but never falls into predictable patterns. He now gives a solo performance.
