Musical world premiere: Staatskapelle Weimar inspires with amber!

Weimar. In the Weimarhalle it will be exciting on October 13th and 14th when the Staatskapelle Weimar plays the third symphony concert of the season. The concerts begin at 7.30 p.m. and are all about the American music of the 20th century. The Dutch conductor Otto Tusk will be on the desk while the Solistin Arabella Steinbacher is expected on the violin.

The program that is entitled "Music from the New World" combines some of the most important compositions by Leonard Bernstein, Samuel Barber and Aaron Copland. Particularly noteworthy is the overture to Bernstein's "On the Town", which celebrated its premiere in 1944 and is known as his first musical. Despite the humorous action of a sailor comedy, the work brings up profound psychological aspects.

Another highlight of the evening will be Barber's concert for violin and orchestra op. 14. This composition was created in the turmoil of the Second World War and shows how the music of the horrors of her time can encounter with a soulful tone. The intimate and melancholic sound could be intended to process and leave the deprivation and fears of those days behind.

The audience can also look forward to Copland's third symphony, which was launched in 1944. This work is not only known as a patriotic piece, it also combines jazz, folklore and neoclassicism elements in a captivating manner. Copland wanted to create an accessible work, which is still the highest musical demands.

Otto Tusk inspired the Weimar listeners in June 2023 when he led a concert with music by Stravinsky and Rimsky-Korsakow. The anticipation is great, especially because Steinbacher is considered one of the most sought -after violinists in the world. Your performance promises to captivate the listeners.

Before the concerts begin at 7.30 p.m., concert dramaturge Kerstin Klaholz offers an introduction to the program at 6.45 p.m. in the wing room of the Weimarhalle. The event promises a deep insight into the selected pieces and their backgrounds, which helps visitors to appreciate the music even more.
