4. Philharmonisches Konzert by Rebel, Jean-Féry, Gipps, Beethoven, Hindemith, sek 04 vas 2024, Nuo (2024/2024), Theater Ulm, Ulm, Germany

Chaos finally turns into harmony, and in many musical forms. This concert evening spans the spectrum from French baroque to 20th-century symphony. Chaos breaks out with a ›modern‹ cluster, and yet this acoustic modernism by Jean-Féry Rebel dates from 1737. With Beethoven, it is the titan Prometheus who brings people ›harmony‹ in the form of fire. And the composer Paul Hindemith calls his symphony from 1952 »The Harmony of the World«. It is a condensation of his opera about the life and work of the astronomer and mathematician Johannes Kepler, which was later premiered. Harmony is also a central theme of the composer, oboist and conductor Ruth Gipps, whose music is worth rediscovering. Not only does she face reservations as a woman in a male-dominated music world, but also because of her style: she rejects atonality, twelve-tone music or serialism. At her »Oboe Concerto« from 1941 there is a reunion with Juliana Koch, once an oboist in the Ulm Philharmonic Orchestra.
