Opening of the Ernst Barlach Theater: Symphony concert with Freddy Kempf!

An exciting event is just around the corner: On September 26, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. the Ernst Barlach Theater in Güstrow will open the doors for the new season. The opening will be celebrated with a special symphony concert by the Neubrandenburg Philharmonic, which promises several musical highlights. Works by Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich will be performed under the direction of general music director Daniel Geiss. The top-class soloist Freddy Kempf on the piano will ensure the sonorous enjoyment and will delight the audience with his virtuosity.

The program is not only a feast for the ears, but also a deep immersion in a musical tradition. The concert will include Tchaikovsky's famous Piano Concerto No. 1 in B minor, Op. 23, as well as Symphony No. 9 in E flat major, Op. 70 by Dmitri Shostakovich.

Musical diversity in the region

A look beyond the borders of Güstrow shows a rich musical offering in the region. The Mittelsächsisches Theater describes the coming season as a varied “musical rollercoaster” that promises numerous emotions and flights of fancy. Under the direction of the new general music director José Luis Gutiérrez, the program includes works by Sibelius, Shostakovich and other well-known composers. These concerts will not only be a delight for lovers of classical music, but also a meeting with the soloists who will also show off their skills [mittelsaechsisches-theater]...

So it remains exciting to see what the new season has to offer and how both concerts will captivate listeners.
