In the Meistersingerhalle, you are greeted by a calm and expectant atmosphere. The grand organ is bathed in blue light,
giving the hall a beautiful and solemn mood. The orchestra enters the hall, and the audience is delighted,
greeting the Nürnberger Symphoniker with a warm applause.
After a brief tuning session, Jonathan Darlington, the chief conductor, enters the hall and, after greeting the audience,
opens the concert with “Der Freischütz.”
From the very first moment, the audience is captivated, feeling both sorrowful and moved, caught up in wild exhilaration,
yet also touched by a certain strictness and a comforting warmth.
The Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra play with such brilliance and dedication that the people in the hall are spellbound.
And this is exactly how it should be—watch the orchestra and Jonathan Darlington, and you will understand how
captivating this wonderful music is.
Jonathan Darlington
“The Chief Conductor of the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra combines Ludwig van Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 in
E-flat major, Op. 73, with Johannes Brahms’ last symphony, the tragically grand ‘Fourth’ Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98,
and Carl Maria von Weber’s Der Freischütz, Op. 77 Overture.”
Federico Colli
“The ‘Tasten-Löwe,’ as he is also lovingly called, plays in a very easy manner and presents his skill on the piano with his
whole Italian heart. Federico Colli studied at the Milan Conservatory, at the Imola International Piano Academy,
and at the Salzburg Mozarteum. There he studied under the guidance of…”
Sergio Marengoni, Konstantin Bogino, Boris Petrushansky und Pavel Gililov.
In 2011, he won the Salzburg Mozart Competition, and in 2012, the International Piano Competition in Leeds.
The concert is very lively.
Joy and drama, a story that could only be fittingly presented in the opera “Der Freischütz.”
The young hunter Max is about to make his trial shot. This success will decide his desired marriage to Agathe,
the daughter of the hereditary forester. Max is in a panic, as he has recently had a bit of a bad streak…
I won’t reveal more at this point—you must experience the opera yourself. Feel the magic, the drama, and the great
emotions for yourself.
Most people will be familiar with the opera. For those who are not: this story, this opera is grand, full of emotions,
highs and lows, and then the strength from “below” lifts the situation, bringing back hope and joy,
leading the whole story to a moving conclusion.
The piece offers much room for imagination and means something different for everyone. But it certainly involves
great feelings: love, separation, perseverance, strength, and longing.
Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98 is the last symphony composed by Johannes Brahms. It was premiered on October 25,
1885, in Meiningen, with Brahms himself conducting. It’s rare for the composer to conduct the premiere of his own symphony.
This symphony is one of Brahms’ most beloved and frequently performed orchestral works.
In many ways, this symphony is a special piece: a final word from the symphonist Brahms.
The Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra have set off on their tour to England, and we wish them much enjoyment and success!
In December 2024, the wonderful program of the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra continues, so be sure to get your tickets now.
Kind regards,
