Jubiläumskonzert - 50 Jahre Studierendenorchester Münster

The Münster Student Orchestra is celebrating its

50th anniversary. Since 1976, the orchestra has been a defining part of the cultural life of the university

and the city of Münster, offering students and music lovers from the region

the opportunity to perform major symphonic works together on stage. For the

anniversary, current and former members are coming together to look back on five

decades of the orchestra’s history and, at the same time, look toward the

future.

In keeping with this special occasion, the orchestra, under the direction of

Farhad Garayusifli, a program that connects different eras and soundscapes

. From the festive radiance of Richard Strauss’s “Vienna Philharmonic

"Fanfare" to the operatic verve of Otto Nicolai’s overture

to “The Merry Wives of Windsor” to George Gershwin’s colorful

“An American in Paris”—the program spans the musical

diversity of the past centuries. The highlight of the evening is Gustav

Mahler’s monumental Symphony No. 1 in D major, which, with its tension-filled

combination of natural idyll, drama, and triumphant new beginnings, fully exploits the musical

expressive capabilities of the orchestra.

Alumni, friends, supporters, and all music lovers are cordially invited to

celebrate this special anniversary together with the orchestra.

Friday, July 17, at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, July 18, at 6:00 p.m. at the Messe und Congress

Centrum Halle Münsterland. Doors open half an hour before each concert begins.

Tickets are available at studentenorchester.de/aktuelle-konzerte and at the Box Office.
