About the Event
A spectacular concert showcasing Jan Vogler and the Berlin Philharmonic Brass, performing pieces by Gulda and more, is set to rock the walls of the Semper Opera House in a delightful matinee. Featuring an eclectic mix of classical and pop, the opulent setting intensifies the experience. Friedrich Gulda, who passed away in 2000, composed the captivating five‐movement Concerto for Cello and Brass Ensemble, a dedication to Heinrich Schiff in 1980. This piece transitions from funky rock to an Alpine tune. Cellist Jan Vogler, not just the artistic director of the Dresden Music Festival and a notable figure in his domain, but also Heinrich Schiff's one‐time pupil, masterfully handles the solo, tying the connection together beautifully. The Berlin Philharmonic's Brass Ensemble joins him, lending their iconic sound and eclectic joy for a cross‐genre performance. Also taking the stage is Anna Handler, a rising star in the conducting world, born in 1994 in Munich, leading the exceptional ensemble in stirring wind instrument arrangements.
