The American composer Frank Ticheli has not featured much in German concert programmes to date. His Louisiana-born conductor colleague Carl St. Clair already has a recording of Ticheli under his belt and is now bringing one of his works for string orchestra to Wuppertal. “Rest” (2010) is an arrangement of Ticheli’s choral work of the same name composed 10 years earlier.
Catarina Laske-Trier and Manuela Randlinger-Bilz are long-standing members of the symphony orchestra and – after countless performances within the orchestra – will be appearing as soloists for the very first time. The solo flautist and solo harpist have chosen Mozart’s Concerto in C major, K 299 for their performance. This commission for a “Comte de Guines” is virtuoso, elegant and gallant – just right for the Parisian society of its era and Wuppertal’s audiences of today.
Even Clara Schumann, Brahms’ usually so kindly disposed critic, initially shook her head at his 4th Symphony. His fragmented, thematically interwoven work was simply too daring. Yet shortly before his death, Brahms still got to enjoy the general public’s great enthusiasm for his 4th – an enthusiasm which endures to this day.

Introduction to the concert

Professor Lutz-Werner Hesse provides an insight into the compositions and the creative work of the composer, as well as an overview of the historical context and background in a half-hourly concert introduction on the Mondays of symphony concerts performed by the Wuppertal Symphony Orchestra. Soloists or the conductor share interesting facts about the concert programme in dialogue with the audience.

Professor Lutz-Werner Hesse is a composer and the managing director of the Wuppertal department of the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln.

Tickets for symphony concerts on Monday evenings include entrance to these concert introductions at 7.00 pm free of charge. (Please note, spaces are limited.)

The venue for the talk is signposted in the foyer.

Worth Knowing For Your Visit

  • Performance Venue Grosser Saal

    The event is taking place in the Großer Saal, the heart of the Historische Stadthalle. Its famous acoustics, spectacular sense of space under a ceiling that is 17 metres high, its décor and galleries take one’s breath away time and again.

Corona update

Directions

The Historische Stadthalle is located in the heart of North Rhine-Westphalia and lies in the centre of Wuppertal-Elberfeld. We are easily reached by public transport. The ICE train station and local bus stops are in the immediate vicinity.

This is where you will find detailed directions.

Parking Flat Day Rate

Make use of our flat day rate for parking. It only costs 4 euros. One useful tip: you can pay at the pay stations in the multi-storey car park itself or in the stairwell either when you return to your vehicle or in advance of attending events. That will save you time waiting at the pay stations after the end of events.

Accessibility

It goes without saying that the Historische Stadthalle is equipped to provide access for disabled people.

Wheelchair ramps and lifts (with announcement) will provide you with easy access to all rooms.

Parking spaces for disabled people are available both in the multi-storey car park and in the Südstrasse car park.

Toilets for disabled people can be found on the ground floor (to the right of the main entrance) at the eastern end of the foyer. They are clearly signposted.

A wheelchair is available in the building.

An unlimited number of wheelchair places is available in the Großer Saal.

Our concierge, foyer team and culinaria staff are happy to help should you need assistance at any time.
