Bridges Chamber Orchestra
Concert title: Glokale Welthits
Conductor: Harish Shankar
Artistic Direction: Johanna-Leonore Dahlhoff

In every cultural sphere, there are so-called world hits that supposedly "everyone" knows. Upon closer examination, however, "everyone" often refers to people with similar musical socialization. Outside their own circles, the supposed world hit is surprisingly often little known. With its new program Glokale Welthits, the Bridges Chamber Orchestra places such "classics" at the center and transforms them for their unique transcultural ensemble: in unique arrangements written by orchestra members. Works include pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach, George Gershwin, and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, including arrangements by orchestra members Johanna-Leonore Dahlhoff, Walid Khatba, Peter Klohmann, Harish Shankar, and many more.

The Bridges Chamber Orchestra performs under the baton of Harish Shankar, chief conductor of the Schleswig-Holstein State Theatre and winner of the 6th International Jorma Panula Competition.

In the Bridges Chamber Orchestra, musicians with their instruments come together from various regions of the world. The orchestra members are experts in Arabic, Persian, and European classical music, jazz, contemporary music, Eastern European folklore, as well as various forms of Central Asian and Latin American music. Drawing from their diverse backgrounds, the musicians compose and arrange their pieces themselves. What emerges is transcultural music.

Admission from 6:30 PM. The concert lasts 75 minutes without intermission.
