Symphoniker Hamburg / Chamber Concert
Thursday, 26/02/2026 / 07:30 PM - 09:15 PM / Laeiszhalle (Kleiner Saal)
The fifth chamber concert of the season in the Small Hall of the Laeiszhalle is entitled »Hamburgensie meets memories of Florence.« A chamber orchestra from the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra, conducted by concertmaster Adrian Iliescu, will present a program that spans the musical spectrum from Hamburg to Florence – an evening full of stylistic diversity, lively contrasts, and musical brilliance.
The concert opens with C. P. E. Bach’s Hamburg Symphony in A major – a work full of expressiveness that exemplifies the heyday of the »Hamburg Bach«. This is followed by J. S. Bach’s Violin Concerto in D minor, a masterpiece of Baroque concert art in which the virtuosity of the solo violin and the clarity of the musical architecture of the orchestral part come together in a unique way. The festive finale is Peter Tchaikovsky’s String Sextet in D minor, entitled »Souvenir de Florence«. In this work, Russian passion and Italian lightness merge into a colorful chamber music piece that rounds off the evening in a melodious way.
