"Rhythm" with Hayato Sumino on the piano, the Aurora Orchestra and conductor Nicholas Collon - introductory talk followed by the concert

With "Impuls Plus", the Kölner Philharmonie invites you to an introductory talk with lecturer and musician Clara Flaksman in the Interim of the Central Library before attending the concert: Here you will learn deeper or completely new insights into the works of the concert evening. Background stories, interesting facts and interactive elements will get you in the mood for the concert.

Intense freedom of sound without music stands and chairs: "Boléro", "Le Sacre du printemps" and "Rhapsody in Blue": The Aurora Orchestra, founded by conductor Nicholas Collon, has been guaranteeing gripping new listening experiences since 2014. The orchestra plays even the most demanding classics completely by heart. This creates a more intense relationship with the music, which is immediately transferred to the audience. In Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue", pianist and YouTube star Hayato Sumino takes on the solo part. The incredible freedom of making music without music stands and chairs is also reflected in the dance-like rhythm with which the British orchestra pulsates through two legendary ballet compositions - Ravel's "Boléro" and Stravinsky's "Le Sacre du printemps". John Adam's "Short Ride in a Fast Machine" also shapes the program with its unyielding minimal rhythm.

The event takes place in cooperation with the Kölner Philharmonie (KölnMusik) and is sponsored by the Kuratorium KölnMusik e. V.
