Concert
Live Stream: Simon Rattle and Magdalena Kožená at the Waldbühne

Sun, 24.06.2018
7:00 PM - 21:15 Goethe-Institut Glasgow

Join us for a Live Stream of a concert of the Berliner Philharmoniker introduced by Scottish conductor Paul MacAlindin.

Goodbye Sir Simon! With this concert from the Waldbühne, the Berliner Philharmoniker not only bring the concert season to a close, but also say farewell to Simon Rattle in his capacity as the orchestra’s chief conductor. Including this evening, the British conductor has been at the helm of the traditional season closing event seven times, an event whose summer open-air atmosphere, its music-loving, picnicking crowds, a great guest star and special programming all combine to give it its special flair.
For Rattle’s last concert, too, you can look forward to a special programme. It includes the Chants d’Auvergne by Joseph Canteloube, a collection of songs in which the French composer and folk music researcher arranged the songs of the Auvergne for voice and orchestra. Its pastoral tone, inspired by the beauty of nature, makes the songs – sung here by Magdalena Kožená – an ideal programme item for the summery backdrop of the Waldbühne.
