Saisoneröffnung mit Lahav Shani

In the organizer's words:

In the opening concerts of the 2024/25 season, the Munich Philharmonic will build a bridge between its tradition and its future. One of the outstanding highlights in the Munich Philharmonic's long Bruckner tradition is the world premiere of the 9th Symphony, which was left as a torso in its unaltered original version. Siegmund von Hausegger conducted the Munich Philharmonic on April 2, 1932 at the historic premiere, which heralded a "turning point" in the performance practice of Bruckner's symphonies. With the performance of this monumental work, which the composer dedicated to none other than "the dear God", the designated chief conductor Lahav Shani is continuing the orchestra's great Bruckner tradition and at the same time setting the starting point for several concert programs with which the Munich Philharmonic will celebrate the 200th anniversary of Anton Bruckner's birth on 4 September 2024. In addition, Lahav Shani will perform Bach's Piano Concerto No. 1 BWV 1052 as soloist, which not only underlines his impressive artistic versatility, but also provides an insight into the stylistic range of his future programs.
