Our latest cd release: Gustav Mahler Symphony Nr. 4

In July, in the middle of the first Corona summer, we used the time for a wonderful recording (in co-production with BR-Klassik). At the same time, we investigated how successful recordings are possible at this time, on the one hand with regard to safety, and on the other hand also under the musically crucial aspects such as sound and interaction of the orchestra. The result is an extraordinary recording of Gustav Mahler's 4th Symphony together with our principal conductor Jakub Hrůša. The mezzo-soprano part in the 4th movement was taken by Anna Lucia Richter. Released by accentus music (catalog number: ACC30532), available now.

KAMMER?MUSIK? COMPETITION OF THE "JUNGE DEUTSCHE PHILHARMONIE"

We are not the only ones who have to adapt our concert formats and the channels we use to reach our audiences during the pandemic. All over the world, many musicians are developing creative techniques and formats to bring their music to audiences during the pandemic. Our sponsor orchestra, the Junge Deutsche Philharmonie, had a particularly nice idea and launched an internal chamber music competition. The aim was not only to give a bravura performance of the pieces, but also to open up new, creative approaches to music education. The winners received several coaching sessions with members of various orchestras, including the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra. Congratulations to the "Odeon Trio" who won the coaching with our solo cellist Ulrich Witteler! We hope you enjoy the coaching and are impressed by the entries in the competition! All submissions can be viewed again here: www.jdph-kammermusik.de

A CLASSROOM VISIT WITH TUBA...

On 22 April 2021, our tuba player Heiko Triebener visited the two fourth grades of the Heidelsteigschule Bamberg - of course in compliance with all hygiene regulations - and presented the tuba - as we hear, a complete success.

JOHN STORGåRDS & BAIBA SKRIDE: KORNGOLD, NIELSEN & TSCHAIKOWSKI

The Bamberg Symphony hopes you enjoy watching and listening to the recording of our concert with John Storgårds and Baiba Skride. The programme included the following works: Erich Wolfgang Korngold: "Tänzchen im alten Stil" for chamber orchestra, Carl Nielsen: Concerto for Violin and Orchestra op. 33, and Piotr I. Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 4 in F minor op. 36.

JAPAN TOUR CANCELLED

As there is no foreseeable easing of international entry restrictions due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is with great regret that we have to announce the cancellation of our Japan tour scheduled for June 2021. This also means that the concerts at Festival Hall (Osaka) on June 21, as well as at Suntory Hall (Tokyo) on June 23, are cancelled. Discussions for the next visit to Japan will continue accordingly.
