Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra

This concert juxtaposes Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Johannes Brahms, both of whom have links to Hamburg, with Renaissance composers. Vocal madrigals meet Mendelssohn’s famous Octet – a work that was inspired by Goethe’s verse. Performing in the concert is a string ensemble from the ranks of the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra, and the American choir Chanticleer.
