Starting Anew

Das Neujahrskonzert mit Klezmer, Mahler und Uri Caine

Die ebenso schmissigen wie herzergreifenden Melodien der jüdischen Klezmer-Musik sind der perfekte Start ins neue Jahr – da sind wir uns sicher. Und Mahler auch. Ach ja, Mahler ist ja eigentlich Klezmer!

Komische Oper im Schillertheater

The melodies of Jewish Klezmer music are both lively and heart-rending, making a perfect start to the new year—of that, we can be certain. And Mahler too. Oh yes, Mahler is actually klezmer! After all, the musical language of this Bohemian-born Jewish composer is deeply rooted in the folk-music traditions of his homeland. The American Uri Caine and his klezmer band have long understood this, and—together with the orchestra of the Komische Oper Berlin under the baton of our Music Director James Gaffigan—they will make us inwardly weep while outwardly tapping our feet. Great emotions at the crossroads between musical worlds to mark the start of the new year. Just let yourself fall into the music, charging your batteries for the start of 2025—a year with bright prospects. Happy New Year!

Artists/Collaborators: James Gaffigan (Musikalische Leitung), Uri Caine (Solist), Orchester der Komischen Oper Berlin (Orchester)
