Klaus Mäkelä and Alan Gilbert conduct the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra (June 17th and 26th). The artist for the »Blind Date« show (June 24th) has still not been revealed.
Hamburg, 16 June 2020: As long as the audience is not allowed to come into the concert halls of the Elbphilharmonie, the Elbphilharmonie will come to the audience. Three new broadcasts of concerts from the Grand Hall will take place over the next few days, in front of empty tiers, but from the core of the musicians’ hearts. The NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra performs in a Corona-reduced line-up tomorrow, June 17th, with music by Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Lindberg and Schönberg (Pekka Kuusisto, violin), conducted by the 24-year-old Finn Klaus Mäkelä, an up and coming star on the podium. On June 26th, the orchestra plays works by Adès, Shostakovich and Beethoven. Alan Gilbert, chief conductor of the orchestra, is on the podium, Igor Levit is piano soloist.
On June 24th, the Elbphilharmonie presents its popular »Blind Date« series for the first time online. The performing artist remains a secret until the first bars sound. Enjoy the surprise!
