Gabriela Ortiz: “I chose a different path.”
Although Ortiz had long been one of the most prominent voices in Latin American music, only in recent years has the 61-year-old found truly global recognition. Her works are brimming with energy, deeply moving and remarkable for their sheer beauty of sound.
“I threw my tailcoat into the audience and said ‘Adieu!’”
There is no one quite like Brett Dean in the history of the Berliner Philharmoniker. He played viola in the orchestra for 14 years – while also improvising in Kreuzberg clubs during that time. He left the Philharmoniker in 1999 and became an internationally sought-after composer. For the 2026/27 season, Brett Dean will be Composer in Residence with his former orchestra.

Speaking at a press conference in the Philharmonie, he discussed the works that matter most to him — from little-known musical depictions of nature to an “Everest of music” and music “as if from another world”.
