Cal Performances' prestigious annual ORCHESTRA RESIDENCY CONTINUES
WITH A RETURN VISIT BY THE VENERABLE VIENNA PHILHARMONIC. You will
have the unforgettable chance to experience the incredible sound of
this remarkable ensemble, directed by three of the classical music
world's podium greats. One ORCHESTRA, three master conductors. No
other musical ensemble is more closely associated with the history and
tradition of European classical music than the VIENNA PHILHARMONIC.
Over a formidable 170-year history, the musicians of this ORCHESTRA
HAVE MAINTAINED A TRADITION OF BEAUTY AND EXCELLENCE IN
MUSIC-making—enjoying close associations with many of the most
influential composers—Wagner, Verdi, Bruckner, Brahms, Liszt,
Strauss, Mahler—and conductors—Richter, Furtwängler, von Karajan,
Bernstein—in the history of music. The VIENNA PHILHARMONIC VISITS
BERKELEY FOR A THREE-concert residency with repertoire shining a light
on the ORCHESTRA'S DEEP CONNECTION TO ITS FAMOUS MUSICAL LEGACY.
Highlights include Italian conductor Daniele Gatti, a renowned Mahler
interpreter, in a program including Mahler's 4th Symphony; Brahms's
Third Symphony (premiered by the VIENNA PHILHARMONIC IN 1883)
conducted by stellar Latvian conductor Andris Nelsons—"the next big
thing among young conductors" (New York Times); and an exploration of
enduring scores by influential Viennese composers (and a contemporary
work from a composer who is creating in VIENNA TODAY), conducted by
Franz Welser-Möst—a rare chance to experience his magnificent
music-making beyond Cleveland where he is music director of The
Cleveland ORCHESTRA. The VIENNA PHILHARMONIC'S RESIDENCY WILL ALSO
INCLUDE EXTENSIVE ACTIVITIES IN THE COMMUNITY AND WITH UC BERKELEY
STUDENTS, including master classes, chamber music, and a special
symposium focusing on the history of the ORCHESTRA. Buy Tickets:
