An evening full of musical brilliance, building a bridge between the early 19th and late 20th centuries: Under the baton of Sylvain Cambreling, a concert unfolds that speaks of memory and new beginnings – of music that preserves and transforms at once. Ludwig van Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in D major is one of the most beloved works in classical music. With its overwhelming beauty, it has captivated audiences for more than 200 years. Clara-Jumi Kang returns to the Symphoniker Hamburg following her acclaimed concert in the 2024/25 season, bringing Beethoven’s masterpiece to life with her incomparable virtuosity.
Providing a striking contrast is Hans Werner Henze’s »Sinfonia N. 8«, performed by the Symphoniker in honor of Henze’s 100th birthday. Inspired by Shakespeare’s »A Midsummer Night’s Dream«, the work blends classical tradition with shimmering modern colors – music that makes the past tangible while pointing toward the future. A concert that brings history to life and draws the audience into an overwhelming world of sound.
