Dmitri Shostakovich, Symphony No. 11 in G minor Op. 103, “The Year 1905”

The National Youth Orchestra of Germany (Bundesjugendorchester), which brings together young musicians between the ages of 14 and 19, was founded by the German Music Council in 1969, and has been an official partner of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra since 2013.

Sir Simon Rattle has been Conductor Laureate of the National Youth Orchestra of Germany since 2018. The young musicians have the opportunity to work together with renowned conductors, including Herbert von Karajan, Kurt Masur, Gerd Albrecht, Gustavo Dudamel, Andris Nelsons, Ingo Metzmacher and Kirill Petrenko. The orchestra frequently tours the world as a cultural ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany. 

The National Youth Orchestra of Germany starts a new concert year together with an old friend, Christian Tetzlaff. The world-renowned violinist, who was a member and concertmaster of this orchestra between 1979 and 1983, will be the soloist in Fantasy in G minor, Op. 24 for violin and orchestra by Josef Suk. During the intensive rehearsal periods before their international tours, the orchestra prepares challenging works from all historical eras; the evening’s programme thus opens with Variations for Orchestra by Italian composer Luigi Dallapiccola and concludes with the Symphony No. 11 by Dmitri Shostakovich. Francesco Angelico, General Music Director of the Hessisches Staatstheater Kassel, will conduct the orchestra for the first time.



The honorary guest of the concert is the President of the Republic of Slovenia, Nataša Pirc Musar, who will attend the event with her spouse.

Programme
Joseph Haydn, The creation, Hob. XXI:2

During one of his visits to London, Haydn was completely enchanted by Handel’s magnificent oratorios. After returning to Vienna, he joined forces with librettist Gottfried van Swieten and set about composing his first oratorio, which provides a unique description of the creation of the world in seven days. The oratorio, in which the composer also employs fascinating tone painting, such as in the introductory presentation of chaos, has been considered one of the most magnificent works of the entire music repertoire since its first performance.

Founded in 2012, Quatuor Van Kuijk has been taking the world of music by storm, enchanting critics and audiences alike. The first French ensemble to have won the prestigious 2015 Wigmore Hall String Quartet Competition, Van Kuijk were also the BBC New Generation Artists (2015–17) and joined the ECHO Rising Stars roster for the 2017/2018 season.
Having achieved such notable successes early in their career, the Quatuor are an established presence at major international venues and enjoy highly visible musical partnerships with distinguished instrumentalists. This time they have joined forces with passionate flutist Eva-Nina Kozmus, soloist at the Opera de Limoges in France and the only Slovenian laureate of the prestigious Eurovision Young Musician competition (Vienna, 2010). Irish composer Sam Perkin dedicated his composition Eva to the talented instrumentalist, whilst works by Slovenian composers written especially for Eva-Nina have been compiled in the collection Razpoloženja. 
A popular genre in late 18th century, the flute quartet’s mellifluous combination of flute and strings inspired also Amy Beach, a pioneering American female composer of the late nineteenth century and a national symbol of women’s creative power.

Franz Schubert, Fantasia in C Major for violin and piano, D 934
Work by a Slovenian composer, TBA

Violinist Dan Zhu possesses great breadth of mind and musical sensibility. His special outlook on life, art, freedom, beauty and love is reflected in his artistic maturity, complemented with technical brilliance and stylistic consistency.

Dalberto plays it with discerning sensitivity, which he complements with splendid rhythmic élan and general vitality of spirit.
Gramophon

A widely acclaimed artist, Michel Dalberto has been hailed as one of the leading French pianists of his generation. He is one of the foremost interpreters of Schubert's and Mozart's music and an acknowledged recording artist. He is the only living pianist to have recorded the complete piano works by Schubert.
With a stylistically diversified programme, the musicians will pay tribute to both the violinist’s native land and his new home and enrich Slovenia’s chamber repertoire by giving the Slovenian premiere of Sheng’s Fantasies.

Four Inspired Musicians

Christian Tetzlaff, Elisabeth Kufferath, violins; Hanna Weinmeister, viola; Tanja Tetzlaff, cello
 

Programme
Arnold Schoenberg, String Quartet No 1 in D minor, Op. 7 
*
Ludwig van Beethoven, String Quartet No 13 in B flat Major, Op. 130 with Grande Fugue, Op. 133
 

Tetzlaff Quartett brings together four acclaimed chamber musicians – the Tetzlaff siblings were joined by two musicians who pursue successful individual careers. Their few yet eagerly awaited concerts testify to the ensemble’s sterling music-making. Although uncrowned with an array of awards and prizes, the quartet ranks among some of the world’s finest chamber ensembles – impeccable technique and invigorating expressiveness culminate in sonically balanced, refined and precise performances marked by a unique interpretive freedom.

The Tetzlaff Quartett’s deeply engaged performances faithfully reflect the greatness of Beethoven’s late quartets, which blend the sheer force of music with the insightfulness of Schonberg’s first foray into absolute music; which already heralds the composer’s deviation into the domain of atonality.
