]]> The magnificent city of Dresden will host the 48th edition of the Dresdner Musikfestspiele from May 17 to June 14, 2025, with love as the central theme of the season!

As always, Jan Vogler, the renowned cellist and artistic director of the festival, has invited leading orchestras and top-tier artists to celebrate their love for music in a program that blends classical music with world music, jazz, and even pop!

Classical music lovers can look forward to many highlights, including Siegfried, the next installment of Wagner’s Ring Cycle, performed by the Dresdner Festspielorchester and Concerto Köln, under the baton of Kent Nagano, in a historically informed version.

Another landmark event is the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Jaap van Zweden, making a stop in Dresden during its European tour to perform Mahler’s Seventh Symphony.

Other prestigious ensembles include the London Symphony Orchestra, featuring the exquisite violinist Lisa Batiashvili under Antonio Pappano’s direction. Lahav Shani will lead the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Münchner Philharmoniker will present a program featuring Mahler’s tragic Sixth Symphony and Prayer by Tzvi Avni.

The NHK Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Fabio Luisi, will welcome the renowned Japanese violinist Akiko Suwanai, while the Camerata Salzburg will perform alongside the stunning Janine Jansen, and the Wiener Symphoniker will take the stage with French violinist Renaud Capuçon.

With Jan Vogler himself performing as a soloist, the 2025 edition of the festival will feature exceptional artists such as Sol Gabetta (with the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden under Tugan Sokhiev), pianists Mitsuko Uchida and Mao Fujita in recital, and the brilliant Seong-Jin Cho alongside the Göteborgs Symfoniker under the inspired baton of Santtu-Matias Rouvali.

With a performance of Siegfried and an outstanding cast—including Derek Welton as the new Wotan/Wanderer—vocal artistry will also shine. Fatma Said, Lea Desandre, and Benjamin Appl will each offer a recital, which will surely be among the festival’s highlights.

Love is always in the air in Dresden, and especially during this edition of the Dresdner Musikfestspiele!

]]> Lisa Batiashvili is not only an exceptional violinist who excels on every stage in the world, the violinist is also an artist involved in the defence of human rights and freedoms. Born in Georgia, she knows more than any other European what the madness of a single Russian can bring. Through her Foundation, she has raised over €100,000 for Ukrainian musicians to help over 180 artists so far. ” It is essential for us to continue to raise awareness on the dire situation in Ukraine, have conversations about the necessity to fill in for financial gaps and tell stories from the frontlines our beneficiaries experience” she told The Strad. Donations can be made online (lisabatiashvili-foundation.org/donation) or simply attend one of the great artist’s courageously committed concerts!
