Ludwig van Beethoven’s 6th symphony, also known as “Pastorale”, transports the listeners into the open air, even though for the composer himself his music meant “more expression of feeling than painting”: nature as a mirror of the soul. The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen has received much praise for its complete recording of all Beethoven symphonies. On this evening, the young Finn Tarmo Peltokoski the first guest conductor ever appointed by this brilliant orchestra, tells the story of water, wind and the legendary Fingal’s Cave with Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s concert overture “The Hebrides”. Sharon Kam discovers the vastness of musical landscapes in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto, especially in the enchanting Adagio.

7 August 2020, 7.30 pm: “Reason and Revolution”
The 150th birthday of the great composer of Viennese classical music, Ludwig van Beethoven, was celebrated very festively on 7 August 2020 («Reason and Revolution»): Under the direction of Pablo Heras-Casado, guests were able to enjoy the Overture from «The Creatures of Prometheus», Opus 43, Symphony No. 3 in E flat major, «Eroica»Opus 61 and the Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D major, Opus 55. Both the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen and Veronika Eberle (violin) were able to present to the audience a worthy tribute to the composer, who died in 1827.
