Mannheimer Bläserphilharmonie

In the organizer's words:

The program of the concert tour to Rio

The Mannheim Wind Philharmonic Orchestra will play in Rio de Janeiro in July, where it will represent the vibrant musical city of Mannheim at the international congress for symphonic wind orchestras and wind ensembles. This tour program can be heard in advance at the Mannheim Summer - with works by Samuel Adler, Ferrer Ferran and the world premiere of "Mannemer Rakete" by Mannheim-based German-Ukrainian composer Evgeni Orkin. The music of Mannheim-born, almost 100-year-old exile composer Samuel Adler combines American modernism with great melodic clarity and colourful wind orchestration. The Spanish composer Ferrer Ferran is one of the most internationally performed creators of symphonic wind music; his works are known for their energetic rhythms, virtuoso passages and Mediterranean timbres. With the world premiere of "Mannemer Rakete", Evgeni Orkin also takes up a famous musical motif of the city: the so-called Mannheimer Rakete, a rapidly ascending tone figure from the orchestral language of the Mannheim School of the 18th century, which once shaped European musical life. The concert thus spans an arc from Mannheim's historical musical tradition to the international present of wind music - and shows the many facets of the city between musical heritage, cosmopolitan exchange and the pulsating present. The concert in the Baumhainhalle is the first item on the Landscape Music program, which will transform the Oberer Luisenpark into a music trail on Sun, 28 June. Tickets coming soon! Concert as part of Landschaftsmusik. In cooperation with the Luisenpark Mannheim. This content has been machine translated.
