- Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie opens its 10th season with a concert featuring Tchaikovsky, Fazıl Say and Beethoven.
- Omer Meir Wellber will conduct the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra.
- Wellber has combined the 37 movements of Beethoven’s nine symphonies into new sound spaces under the title “ZeitenLos.”
The Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg begins its 10th season with an ambitious Beethoven project, alongside works by Piotr Tchaikovsky and Fazıl Say.
The anniversary-season opening concert starts at 8 p.m. and will feature the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra under conductor Omer Meir Wellber.
The program’s most unusual element is a new arrangement of Beethoven’s symphonies. Wellber has combined the 37 movements from all nine symphonies into new musical spaces under the title “ZeitenLos.” The program describes these spaces as filled with life, moods, internal relationships, ideas and inspirations.
Beethoven will remain a central figure throughout the new Elbphilharmonie season. His 200th death anniversary will be marked in 2027.
