Reunion with premières
2nd First Night Subcriptioon Concert
Works by Ligeti, Previn and Mendelssohn Bartholdy
It’s been forty years since a very young violinist received an invitation to a musical pas de deux from one of the world’s greatest pianists. In the meantime, the recording of Bach sonatas with Glenn Gould and violinist Jaime Laredo counts among the classics in recording history. The Bolivian violinist, viola player and conductor Jaime Laredo, who has meanwhile enjoyed a successful career spanning more than five decades, first performed with The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen some 2years ago – open-air at the Hollywood Bowl, on the first major US tour of the orchestra, then newly settled in Bremen. Now the time has come for a long overdue reunion – and a couple of premières. Sharon Robinson and Joshua Weilerstein will be giving their debut with the Kammerphilharmonie and, featuring a German première, the programme is also exploring new avenues. André Previn’s double concerto was first performed in 2014 by the incinnati Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Louis Langrée – also a familiar figure at the Kammerphilharmonie. Langrée succeeds Paavo Järvi, who led the ochestra for ten years, as musical Director in Cincinnati.
