The composition Gruppen by Karlheinz Stockhausen is the basis for this first project of the season. Each of the three classes of schoolchildren involved will be introduced to the serial technique of composition. From a common basis each group will then develop their own compositional structures which, when performed together, form a complex foray into the concepts of time and spatiality.

This creative dance and music project stems from the Alla turca chamber music series of the orchestra. Together with various school classes, the choreographer Canan Erek will investigate the creative possibilities of music and dance based on makam. The harmonies and modes of makam form the basis of classical Turkish music and will serve as the foundation for generating new combinations of musics and movements: music and dance in flight.

The education project focuses on Witold Lutoslawski’s Concerto for Orchestra. In this great orchestral work, the composer incorporates Polish folk melodies of his homeland and translates them into another tonal language. Together with members of the Berliner Philharmoniker, students from Berlin hogh-schools will develop, prepare and perform their own compositions related to this topic. Presentation: 13.

“The general atmosphere of the composition can – with the exception of the 2nd movement – be perceived as a gradual transition from the earnestness of the first movement and the elegic third movement to the life affirmation of the last movement. The title of this symphony-like orchestral work is explained by its tendency to treat the single orchestral instruments in a concordant or soloistic manner”, writes Béla Bartók about his Concerto for Orchestra, the basis for the yearly Zukunft@BPhil dance project together with the Berliner Philharmoniker in the arena in the Berlin district of Treptow. The evening will be opened by a performance of Benjamin Brittens The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra. Performance: 30 and 31 May 2009 at 7.30 pm in the arena Berlin Treptow
