]]> The year 2025 is undoubtedly a Pierre Boulez Year, marking the centenary of his birth. He was a great composer, an influential conductor, as well as a teacher and philosopher. Wednesday, March 26, 2025, marks the exact 100th anniversary of his birth. On this occasion, the city of Baden-Baden, where he is buried, and the Festspielhaus will pay tribute to him with a full-day birthday celebration. The forecourt of the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden will be renamed Place Pierre Boulez, and in the evening, a musical birthday celebration will take place, featuring live discussions, film excerpts, and, of course, music! Throughout the season, numerous Boulez concerts will follow, including performances by the Ensemble intercontemporain and renowned artists such as Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Antonio Pappano with the London Symphony Orchestra, and François-Xavier Roth, returning to lead the SWR Symphonieorchester.

In order to “broaden the European vision”, the Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest in Amsterdam and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra will take over as main orchestras of the Festival from 2026. Conductors Joana Mallwitz and Klaus Mäkelä will play a central role in Baden-Baden‘s future artistic programming. In the meantime, the next two editions in 2024 and 2025 will feature the Berliner, who have been in residence at the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden since 2013.

]]> The Berliner Philharmoniker, which is in residence in Baden-Baden every season for the famous Osterfestspiele, has announced some changes in the programme for the tenth edition, which will be held from 1 to 10 April 2023.

Richard Strauss’s opera Die Frau ohne Schatten, which is at the heart of the season, requires a large number of rehearsals, which means that Kirill Petrenko will not be able to perform on Monday, April 3.

The conductor of Arnold Schönberg’s Orchesterstücke op. 16 and Gustav Mahler’s Fifth Symphony will be his prestigious colleague Daniel Harding. Kirill Petrenko will conduct the symphony concerts on 7 and 10 April as scheduled, with Diana Damrau performing Strauss’ “Vier letzte Lieder”.
