Beethoven / Bruch / Mendelssohn Bartholdy
The Hamburg Orchestra Association invites you to experience a broad musical spectrum from the early 19th century at its concert matinee. Ludwig van Beethoven’s excerpts from the ballet music »The Creatures of Prometheus« open the program with energetic spirit and enlightened pathos. The music celebrates creative humanity while impressively highlighting Beethoven’s dramatic signature and visionary creative drive. The centerpiece of the morning is Max Bruch’s First Violin Concerto in G minor, one of the most beloved works of Romantic concert literature. Its expansive, song-like melodies and passionate virtuosity make this work an emotional highlight of great expressiveness and inner intensity.
The soloist is Carlotta Nordmann, who is already familiar to the audience of the Hamburg Orchestra Association from previous concerts as concertmaster. Born in Frankfurt am Main in 1999 and raised in France, she received her first violin lessons there before continuing her musical education after moving to Hamburg. As a soloist, Carlotta Nordmann has performed with various orchestras in Germany and abroad, including appearances in Italy, Hungary, and China, as well as at the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. She was concertmaster of the Hamburg State Youth Orchestra for many years and is currently concertmaster of the Hamburg Youth Chamber Orchestra. She has also performed with the NDR Youth Symphony Orchestra, the Young North German Philharmonic, the Hamburg Camerata, and the New Philharmonic Hamburg, among others.
The concert morning concludes with Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s Symphony No. 5, »Reformation«, a work of monumental ambition and spiritual coherence. Here, Mendelssohn combines Baroque formal elements with Romantic musical language to create a symphony of powerful architectural clarity and solemn effect.
This morning concert is performed by the Hamburg Orchestra Association, one of Hamburg’s oldest amateur orchestras. Founded in 1904, the ensemble has been dedicated to the cultivation of the great symphonic repertoire from the Classical to the Romantic periods for over 120 years and is an integral part of Hamburg’s musical life with its artistic commitment.
