On a peace mission

The celebrated young cellist Raphaela Gromes and the National State Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine had planned their joint concerts, which kicked off in Kyiv, in the hope that peace would come soon. Now the war is still raging, making the concerts, which feature two of Antonín Dvořák’s most beautiful works and an overture by Mozart’s Russian-Ukrainian contemporary Dimitrij Bortnjanski, all the more a mission of peace.

»I was deeply impressed by the solidarity of the Ukrainians, by their incredible courage and will to fight staunchly for freedom and democracy,« said Raphaela Gromes after her performance in Kyiv in December 2023. In Dvořák’s Cello Concerto she is accompanied by the National State Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine under the baton of long-standing chief conductor Volodymyr Sirenko, who have seen themselves as cultural ambassadors of their homeland since the orchestra was founded. With its vocal melodies and dramatic climaxes, it offers the soloist plenty of scope for virtuoso dexterity and unbridled passion.

The many famous melodies from the composer’s subsequent Ninth Symphony, »From the New World«, are sure to resonate long after the concert, carrying the hope for peace from the concert hall out into the world.

Coughing, clapping, chatting – Tips for your concert visit

A concert at the Elbphilharmonie is a unique experience for both audience and artists. Guests and musicians alike rave about the precise acoustics in the Grand Hall. You can hear every note, even from the highest balcony.

Unfortunately, the opposite is also true: even presumably quiet noises from the audience are clearly audible in the entire hall. We therefore ask our visitors to take the following recommendations into consideration: Tips for your concert visit
