Anyone who has visions should see a doctor,” Chancellor Helmut Schmidt once laconically commented on Willy Brandt’s 1980 election campaign. On the other hand, if you want to be infected by visions yourself, you can go to the Elbphilharmonie from February 2nd to 12th, where the new festival "Visions" will celebrate its first edition in the Great Hall. Alan Gilbert, chief conductor of the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, initiated the festival, which will take place every two years in the future, and wants to show a "snapshot of the current world of music".
Gilbert conducts the opening concert with the NDR Elbphilharmoniker, the Prague Philharmonic Choir and the soloists Siobhan Stagg (soprano) and Patrick Terry (countertenor). The program includes Lisa Streich's Wings and Brett Dean's In This Brief Moment. Streich composed "Flugel" on behalf of the Hamburg Claussen-Simon-Foundation, whose composition prize will be awarded to her at the festival. Brett Dean deals with Charles Darwin's "The Origin of Species" in his varied work. According to Gilbert, it stands for the fact that contemporary music is "as rich and diverse as humanity itself".
The following days are also a feast for the ears with first-class orchestras and soloists. The Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra, conducted by the chief conductor of the Hamburger Symphoniker, Sylvain Cambreling, will perform works by Rebecca Saunders and Dieter Ammann with Nicolas Hodges at the piano on February 3rd. This is followed by evenings with the WDR Symphony Orchestra, the NDR Radio Philharmonic, the EnsembleResonance, the Ensemble Modern and the Ensemble Intercontemporain under the direction of Matthias Pintscher.
The NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra will give two more concerts at the festival, conducted by Alan Gilbert. Anna Thorvaldsdóttir's "Catamorphosis", a composition on climate change, will be performed on February 9 by "Let Me Tell You" for soprano and orchestra by Hans Abrahamsen. Lauren Snouffer sings.
The program will conclude the festival on February 12 with Esa-Pekka Salonen's mini string quartet "Homunculus" and John Adams' "Sheherazade 2" for violin and orchestra, which premiered in 2015 with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra under Gilbert . As in New York, Leila Josefowicz will be performing the violin in the Elbphilharmonie.
