mit Sheku Kanneh-Mason (Artist in Residence)

Joana Mallwitz leads the Konzerthausorchester Berlin into her second season as Chief Conductor with a programme of dance music, which for her is ‘perfect’ for the opening of the season. What's more, the new Artist in Residence Sheku Kanneh-Mason is making his first appearance as Artist in Residence - with Antonín Dvorak's Cello Concerto, which ‘adds a particularly festive element thanks to its familiarity and elegance,’ says our chief conductor.


‘Apart from that, it goes very well with John Adams’ ‘The Chairman Dances’ and Sergei Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances: We have three composers from three eras who went to America and dealt with issues of exile, flight and home. While abroad, 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.
