Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Christoph Eschenbach with Kian Soltani

About the Event

Experience the captivating and enchanting melodies of classical music masters Edward Elgar and Franz Schreker in a highly‐anticipated concert at Berlin's prestigious Konzerthaus. Renowned worldwide, this treasured venue sets the stage for an unforgettable evening of musical brilliance.

Although once celebrated during his lifetime, the multifaceted and forward‐looking compositions of Franz Schreker (1878‐1934) have been largely forgotten over time. Recognizing the need to bring attention back to this remarkable artist, Christoph Eschenbach, alongside the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, has released a compelling double CD featuring highlights from Schreker's opera "Der ferne Klang" and other instrumental pieces.

Adding to the program, this exceptional concert also showcases two instrumental compositions from the late Romantic period, beautifully framing Edward Elgar's famous Cello Concerto. With its deeply melancholic tones, this masterful piece will be performed by the exceptionally talented cellist, Kian Soltani. Adding to the allure, Soltani will be graced with the opportunity to play the renowned Stradivarius cello, "The London, ex Boccherini," on loan from Beare's International Violin Society.

Prepare to be transported to a world of unrivaled musical artistry as these exceptional musicians breathe new life into the timeless compositions of Elgar and Schreker. Don't miss this chance to witness their mellifluous sounds resonating through the halls of the world‐renowned Konzerthaus.
