New Year's Eve with the Konzerthausorchester Berlin & Cameron Carpenter
About the Event
Say farewell to the old year and welcome the new with the Konzerthaus Orchestra, lead by Alexander Shelley. Artist in Residence, Cameron Carpenter, shows the Konzerthaus organ in its full glory as the year turns.
A mixed program of music written by primarily German composers, but inspired by Shelley's homeland, offers an intriguing and stirring concert. From the great ceremony of Handel's 'Music for the Royal Fireworks' or Elgar's 'Pomp & Circumstance' to the Shakespearean works of Mendelssohn and Otto Nicolai, passing by the simpler life of Ralph Vaughan Williams' 'Greensleeves' or Korngold's score for 'Robin Hood' this concert draws a picture of the England of imagination.
