Daniil Trifonov Orchestra Dell’Accademia Nazionale Di Santa Cecilia Roma at Philharmonie Berlin

About the Event

Daniil Trifonov, a renowned pianist, has captivated audiences worldwide with his extraordinary talent. Trained in Moscow and Cleveland, and currently residing in New York, Trifonov is considered one of the most thrilling musicians of our time. His musical affinity lies with Sergei Rachmaninov, the Russian exiled composer who found solace in America. However, Trifonov now surprises us by drawing connections between Rachmaninov and another musical genius, George Gershwin. Gershwin, with Russian roots like Rachmaninov, effortlessly blended jazz and classical music in his compositions. It is therefore no coincidence that Gershwin's energetic "Cuban Overture" and "Concerto in F" share the same fervor and liveliness as Rachmaninov's powerful "Symphonic Dances". In May, Trifonov will return to the Berlin Philharmonie for a concert evening with the Orchestra Dell'Accademia Nazionale Di Santa Cecilia Roma, led by Jakub Hrůša, where all three masterpieces will be performed.

The Philharmonie Berlin, a renowned concert hall, has been a cultural hub in the German capital since its opening in 1963. In the aftermath of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Philharmonie became a symbol of the city's resurgence. Its distinct yellow facade and unique tent‐like shape have made it an iconic landmark. Initially met with skepticism, the hall's design by architect Hans Scharoun has come to be regarded as a groundbreaking model for concert halls worldwide. Scharoun's vision was to create a space where every seat provides an excellent view of the musicians on stage, resulting in the hall's unconventional shape. Since its inauguration, the Berliner Philharmonie has witnessed countless remarkable performances, attracting celebrated soloists and conductors from around the globe.
