NEUBRANDENBURGER PHILHARMONIE

In the organizer's words:

The Neubrandenburg Philharmonic Orchestra has been shaping musical life in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and far beyond for 70 years! In the concert church, which opened in 2001, the renowned orchestra delights its audience with a wide variety of concert formats. The repertoire is not limited to classical music, but also includes film music, jazz and other musical genres.

Neubrandenburg Philharmonic Orchestra presents baroque masterpieces

The Philharmonic Concert is entirely dedicated to the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. But not only friends of baroque music may feel addressed: a light direction co-ordinated with the program will enrich the listening experience atmospherically and let (old) known appear in a new light in the truest sense of the word. In addition to violin concertos in various soloistic settings, two of the famous Brandenburg Concertos will also be heard. Always moving - Bach's Air from the 3rd orchestral suite!

GMD Daniel Geiss is in charge of the concert.
