Festival Podium Zukunft: Frankfurt School Philharmonic Orchestra - Concert at the Alte Oper - 2for1-Tickets
Introducing the next generation of orchestras. Under the motto "Podium Future", the Alte Oper is giving international youth orchestras space at a festival for the first time. Young orchestras from three continents have been invited to perform from Saturday to Monday.
This is how Frankfurt's youth sounds, this is how Hessen's youth sounds: the second day of the festival contrasts the Hessen State Youth Orchestra with a specially founded "City Youth Orchestra". For the festival, school orchestras from Bettinaschule, Elisabethenschule, Wöhlerschule and Gymnasium Nord spent six months rehearsing a concert program and then combined their voices to form a full project orchestra. The crowning glory of the project is the joint morning concert of this Frankfurt school philharmonic orchestra in the Great Hall, which marks the beginning of a lavishly designed festival day.
Throughout the day, the Alte Oper welcomes ensembles and initiatives that present forward-looking ideas and formats or use music to engage with society. Among others, the Berlin program Hangarmusik, which is dedicated to the integration of refugee children and young people by making music together in an orchestra, will be making a guest appearance. Other formats deal with the appeal and limits of digital offerings or new ways of presenting music in the concert hall. The festival program also includes offers for children and young people; a virtual reality experience all about Beethoven and an instrument carousel with the opportunity to try out orchestral instruments for yourself.
With: Frankfurt School Philharmonic Orchestra, Nicolai Bernstein (conductor).
Program: Jean Sibelius | Finlandia op. 26
Dmitri Shostakovich | Waltz No. 2 from: Suite for Variety Orchestra
Franz Schubert | Allegro moderato from: Symphony in B minor D 759 "Unfinished"
