Niederrheinische Sinfoniker

In the organizer's words:

On 31.01.2026 the Lower Rhine Symphony Orchestra will be with us at ARTelier Freiraum KUNST
Special concert of the Lower Rhine Symphony Orchestra 2025/2026 Krefeld.
On6. February, the Lower Rhine Symphony Orchestra will perform an extraordinary symphony concert entitled "Heroes" at the Seidenweberhaus, culminating in the 4th Symphony by Philip Glass. The composer, who is known for his repetitive minimal music with pulsating soundscapes and spherical moments, was inspired by the album "Heroes" by David Bowie and Brian Eno. As an introduction to this evening, eleven members of the Niederrheinische Sinfoniker will perform a chamber concert at Freiraum KUNST (Ostwall 64-66, 47798 Krefeld) on Saturday, January 31 at 8 p.m. It begins with the first two movements of Arnold Schönberg's String Quartet No. 2 in F sharp minor op. 10, composed in 1907/08, in which he greatly expanded tonality; the finale of the quartet can even be considered a farewell to it. This is followed by the varied Trio for horn, trumpet and trombone from 1996 by Antony Plog, which contains great rhythm and wit as well as delicate lyricism. Arvo Pärt's "Da pacem Domine" from 2004 is very peaceful. In Philip Glass' String Quartet No. 3, the almost narcotic effect of his minimal music style comes into its own. It bears its nickname "Mishima" because Glass composed the quartet in 1985 from his music for a film about the Japanese writer Yukio Mishima.
The exhibition "Industrial Culture and Machine Man" by Ywe Sonnensee, which creates a dialog between Krefeld's industrial past and the timeless world of Greek mythology, can be seen at Freiraum KUNST from 29 January.
