About the Event
Back in Berlin: after the triumphant success of its debut in 2024, the Kansas City Symphony accompanied by its conductor Matthias Pintscher is making a further guest appearance at the Musikfest Berlin. Alongside Tchaikovsky’s popular Violin Concerto with the Canadian violinist Blake Pouliot, the programme also includes Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 3 characterised by the emotions of grief and valediction. Olga Neuwirth’s orchestral pieces Tombeau I und Dreydl have a focus on transience and remembrance. The first work is a musical commemoration of Pierre Boulez. In the words of the Austrian composer, the title of the second piece alludes to the “fateful cycle of destiny”.
