ensemble unitedberlin / Christoph Breidler – NDR das neue werk
State of the Art
Traditional and experimental, tonal and atonal: music of the 20th and 21st centuries feels right at home at the Elbphilharmonie and can also be experienced in its full range this season with the »State of the Art« subscription
Tickets may still be available for individual subscription concerts

Maximum minimal: three works by living legend Steve Reich will delight the audience in the first concert of »State of the Art«. Composed for the film »Moving Pictures« by German painter Gerhard Richter, »Reich/Richter« can be experienced audiovisually. György Kurtág was inspired by Franz Kafka’s diaries and letters for his »Kafka Fragments« for soprano and violin. With Christian Mason’s »Sympathetic Resonance« and Helmut Lachenmann’s »My Melodies«, the hr-Sinfonieorchester under the baton of Matthias Hermann will perform two orchestral works as part of »Elbphilharmonie Visions« in which the brass instruments are in the spotlight. For the Pierre Boulez spotlight, star pianist Tamara Stefanovich will dedicate herself to his Second Piano Sonata, before improvisations with her jazz ensemble SDLW bring the concert to a brilliant close.
