Teatime Classics

Emanuel Blumin-Sint believes that the bassoon stands in the spotlight as a solo instrument far too rarely – and he wants to change that. The bassoonist holds a scholarship from the German Music Foundation and is the winner of several prizes, among them the Fanny Mendelssohn Sponsorship Award. This award enabled him to record his first solo album, which showcases all the facets of his instrument. Emanuel Blumin-Sint is accompanied at the Laeiszhalle by accordionist Pavel Efremov. Together they demonstrate how good their unusual combination of instruments sounds, whether they are playing Baroque or 20th century music.

Please note: For organisational reasons, the pre-concert »Tea Time« in the Brahms Foyer has unfortunately been cancelled. The concert will take place as announced.

The Art of Music Education

Since 2008, the Elbphilharmonie and the Körber Foundation have been inviting movers and shakers from the international concert hall scene every two years to discuss the future of music education. »The Art of Music Education« (TAOME) addresses questions that cultural institutions are facing today. For example: How can concert culture in Europe be kept alive, diverse and attractive to a changing audience? What promises do cultural institutions make to people – and can these promises be fulfilled? Which social developments can be accommodated and which can be contrasted? And what role will concert halls, opera houses, music festivals and music ensembles play in the future? In this tenth edition of TAOME, guests from all over Europe will gather to discuss the topic »Out of Control – (Shared) Responsibility«.

This tenth edition of TAOME focuses on three interrelated topics. An assessment of music education in 2026 examines its position in the concert industry, its resources, modes of operation and developments since the first conference. Under the guiding principle »Out of Control – (Shared) Responsibility«, what it means to share responsibility, authorship and creative power, and what opportunities and limitations participatory cultural work entails will be discussed. Impulses from practice and research, including awareness and anti-discrimination concepts in event management, open our eyes to new forms of coexistence. At the same time, we look to the future: what social upheavals will shape music education in the future? How are the roles of artists changing and in what new contexts can concert experiences arise?

The Best of Ennio Morricone

Ennio Morricone received his last Oscar in February 2016 for Quentin Tarantino’s »The Hateful Eight«. Morricone made himself immortal almost 50 years ago with his music for »Once Upon a Time in the West«. His compositions for the Italo-Western classic »The Good, the Bad and the Ugly«, Roland Joffé’s drama »The Mission« and Giuseppe Tornatore’s film »Cinema Paradiso« became particularly well known.
His fans can experience Morricone’s unforgettable works live in selected cities. Star guest Marc Breitfelder is one of the best harmonica players in the world. The large ensemble of soloists, orchestra and choir of the Milano Festival Opera will also be on stage to bring Morricone’s captivating music to life. The technically sophisticated screen animation with the original film scenes intensifies the gripping atmosphere and creates the famous goosebump effect that nobody can resist.
