mit dem Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Joana Mallwitz und Sheku Kanneh-Mason (Artist in Residence)

Joana Mallwitz is leading the Konzerthausorchester Berlin into her second season as chief conductor with a dance program that she says is a "perfect" fit for the season opening.


In addition, the new artist in residence Sheku Kanneh-Mason is making his first appearance as artist in residence - with the Cello Concerto by Antonín Dvorak, which "adds a particularly festive element due to its fame and elegance," says the chief conductor.

"Apart from that, it fits very well with John Adams' 'The Chairman Dances' and Sergei Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances: We have three composers from three eras who went to America and dealt with questions of exile, escape and home. In foreign countries, they incorporated musical elements from their homeland into their works."

The Konzerthaus Berlin is very much looking forward to starting a 2024/25 season with its audience that is as energetic and programmatically exciting as this opening.
