General music director Patrick Hahn starts the programme for the 4th Symphony concert with the Symphonic Interlude from the opera “Der Schatzgräber” by his compatriot Franz Schreker, who, in his days, was among the most performed composers, even ahead of Richard Strauss. Afterwards, the Historische Stadthalle Wuppertal is caught up in a storm of rhythms. One of the most celebrated drummers and percussionists, Austrian Martin Grubinger, has brought Daníel Bjarnason’s Percussion Concerto with him. The Icelandic Bjarnason studied piano, composition and conducting in Reykjavík and Freiburg. His compositions are a breath of fresh air around the globe – his Percussion Concerto will have one of its first performances in the Historische Stadthalle on the Johannisberg.
According to Sergei Prokofiev, his 5th Symphony sings a “Hymn to free and happy Man”. How free he was truly able to be towards the end of World War II in Soviet society is hard to fathom by those who live in democracies today.

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.
