An eight-day New York residency by the Berliner Philharmoniker and its Music Director Sir Simon Rattle will serve as the centerpiece of Carnegie Hall’s first major international festival—Berlin in Lights—a 17-day celebration of the extraordinary city that is Berlin today. The orchestra’s residency, to take place from November 10 to 18, will be comprised of more than a dozen orchestral and chamber music performances, presented at Carnegie Hall and venues throughout New York City.

The November visit to New York will include three orchestral performances by the Berliner Philharmoniker led by Sir Simon Rattle in Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage featuring Mahler’s last three works coupled with contemporary music from Magnus Lindberg, Thomas Adès, and György Kurtág on November 13, 14, and 16; four chamber music concerts in Weill Recital Hall and Zankel Hall with ensembles drawn from the ranks of the orchestra; and free chamber performances by Berliner Philharmoniker musicians in neighborhood venues throughout the city.

The orchestra’s residency and Carnegie Hall’s Berlin in Lights festival will reach a grand finale on November 17 and 18 with two extraordinary performances featuring Sir Simon Rattle, the Berliner Philharmoniker, and more than 200 New York City public school students to be presented at The United Palace Theater in Upper Manhattan. These performances will mark the completion of The Rite of Spring Project—an expansive arts education project that will bring together hundreds of students over eight weeks to explore Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring through movement and music. The United Palace Theater performances will open with the premiere of an original musical composition for voice and percussion, developed by students with vocal coach Mary King and composer Catherine Milliken and based on themes from Stravinsky’s renowned work. Then, approximately 120 students will take to the stage for the program’s second half, dancing Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring as performed by Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker, with choreography by Royston Maldoom. The Rite of Spring Project is presented by The Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall in partnership with Zukunft@BPhil, the Berliner Philharmoniker Education Program.

The Berliner Philharmoniker in Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage: November 13, 14, & 16
The Berliner Philharmoniker, led by Sir Simon Rattle, will give three concerts—each featuring one of Mahler’s last three works paired with contemporary music—in Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage during the course of its November Carnegie Hall residency.

On Tuesday, November 13 at 8:00 p.m. the orchestra’s program includes Mahler’s Symphony No. 9 and the United States premiere of Seht die Sonne by Finnish composer Magnus Lindberg. Premiered in summer 2007, the scoring of Lindberg’s new work was created to match that of Viennese master Mahler with an emphasis on a large woodwind section, two harps, and rich string sonorities. The title of the work makes another Viennese connection: it is the opening text for the final sunrise chorus of Schoenberg’s epic cantata Gurrelieder.

The orchestra returns on Wednesday, November 14 at 8:00 p.m. with Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde featuring tenor Ben Heppner and bass-baritone Thomas Quasthoff. This program opens with the United States premiere of Tevot, a new work by Thomas Adès, co-commissioned by the Berliner Philharmoniker and Carnegie Hall. Adès’s new work, premiered in February 2007, takes its title from a dual meaning: in Hebrew, tevot (tey-VOT) means “bars of music,” and in the Bible, tevot (tey-VA) is the ark of Noah and the cradle that carried the baby Moses. Thomas Adès is holder of The Richard and Barbara Debs Composer’s Chair at Carnegie Hall throughout the 2007–2008 season.

The Berliner Philharmoniker’s final orchestra program in Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage takes place on Friday, November 16 at 8:00 p.m. featuring Mahler’s Symphony No. 10 (performing version by Deryck Cooke) and György Kurtág’s Stele, Op. 33. Stele was premiered in 1994 when Kurtág was composer-in-residence with the Berliner Philharmoniker.

Thirteen/WNET will tape the Berliner Philharmoniker’s November 13 performance of Mahler’s Symphony No. 9 for later broadcast on PBS’ Great Performances. The orchestra’s November 14 concert will be broadcast live on WNYC 93.9 FM and streamed live on wnyc.org. This concert will later be broadcast nationally on SymphonyCast from American Public Media and archived on NPR Music at npr.org/music. The Berliner Philharmoniker’s performance on these radio broadcasts was made possible by Deutsche Bank.

A digital-only release of Mahler’s Symphony No. 9, recorded by the Berliner Philharmoniker and Sir Simon just prior to these Carnegie Hall appearances, will be made available by EMI Classics on November 13 to coincide with the Berlin in Lights festival. The label will issue a CD recording in early 2008.



Chamber Music with Berliner Philharmoniker Musicians at Carnegie Hall
The Berliner Philharmoniker’s residency also features four performances by chamber ensembles comprised of members of the orchestra. On Monday, November 12 at 7:30 p.m. in Zankel Hall, The 12 Cellists of the Berliner Philharmoniker perform music spanning different cultures and times, from Verdi’s “Ave Maria” to Gershwin’s “Clap Yo’ Hands” to pieces by Piazzolla. The eight-member Scharoun Ensemble Berlin performs with Thomas Adès as pianist in a program featuring works by Schubert as well as Adès’s own Piano Quintet on Thursday, November 15 at 7:30 p.m. in Zankel Hall. On Saturday, November 17 at 7:30 p.m. in Weill Recital Hall, the Philharmonia Quartett Berlin performs works by Mendelssohn, Webern, Kurtág, and Schumann. The Baroque music ensemble Berliner Barock Solisten concludes the residency’s series of chamber music concerts in Zankel Hall on Sunday, November 18 at 7:30 p.m. with a program of works by Handel, Vivaldi, and Bach, among others.

Free Neighborhood Concerts by Members of the Berliner Philharmoniker
In addition to their concerts at Carnegie Hall, members of the Berliner Philharmoniker also appear throughout the city as part of the Carnegie Hall Neighborhood Concert Series, a program of The Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall. The Neighborhood Concert Series presents a variety of musical styles and performances in free, one-hour concerts in collaboration with libraries, museums, and shelters, as well as community, cultural, and religious centers.

The Rite of Spring Project—The Dance Project and Songs: Ritual Rhythms
The Berliner Philharmoniker’s residency concludes on November 17 and 18 with performances marking the culmination of two major educational projects exploring Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring. The two projects—The Dance Project and Songs: Ritual Rhythms—bring together 200 New York City public school students ages 7 to 17 to explore Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring through movement and music. In late September, approximately 120 New York City public school students from Upper Manhattan began eight weeks of work with choreographer Royston Maldoom and his team in preparation for these two performances of The Rite of Spring at The United Palace Theater with Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker. In a parallel program, 80 high school students will work with vocal coach Mary King, composer Catherine Milliken, and musicians from the Berliner Philharmoniker to develop an original composition, using elements from The Rite of Spring. A performance of this new work, entitled Songs: Ritual Rhythms, will open the programs at The United Palace Theater. The Rite of Spring Project is a program of The Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall in partnership with Zukunft@BPhil, the Berliner Philharmoniker’s Education program, made possible by Deutsche Bank. The United Palace Theater is located at 175th Street and Broadway, New York.



About the Artists
Sir Simon Rattle was chosen by the musicians of the Berliner Philharmoniker to succeed Claudio Abbado as Chief Conductor and Artistic Director in June 1999, capping a relationship that began 12 years earlier. For 18 years (1980–1998) as Principal Conductor, Artistic Advisor, and then Music Director, he led the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. At the same time, Sir Simon served as the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s first Principal Guest Conductor from 1981–1994, a position he now holds with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment; and forged long-term bonds with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, The Philadelphia Orchestra, and the Vienna Philharmonic. A distinguished opera conductor as well, he has performed works of Mozart, Strauss, Wagner, Beethoven, and Janácek, and led the world premiere of Nicholas Maw’s Sophie’s Choice. An exclusive EMI artist, Simon Rattle has made more than 60 recordings with the CBSO, Berliner Philharmoniker, and other orchestras. He was named a K.B.E in 1994 in recognition of his contribution to the arts.

Tenor Ben Heppner is renowned as a Wagnerian tenor, especially for his roles in Lohengrin and Tristan und Isolde. Mr. Heppner performs frequently with leading opera companies, including the Metropolitan Opera, the Royal Opera Covent Garden, the Vienna State Opera, L’Opéra National de Paris, and Lyric Opera of Chicago. He also appears regularly as a soloist with the world’s major orchestras, with recent engagements including performances of Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, as well as Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 with the orchestra during James Levine’s inaugural season as music director. He also performed Elgar’s Dream of Gerontius with the London Symphony Orchestra and appeared with the ensemble at the BBC Proms in Les Troyens. An exclusive recording artist for Deutsche Grammophon, Mr. Heppner has an extensive discography that features a wide range of repertoire from solo works to complete opera recordings. In 1988, he received a Grammy Award for his recording of Die Meistersinger on London/Decca records and his work can also be heard on the RCA Read Seal, Decca, EMI, Sony, and Teldec labels.

Bass-baritone Thomas Quasthoff is recognized as one of the most remarkable singers performing today. He began his vocal studies with Professor Charlotte Lehmann and Professor Huber-Contwig (musicology) in Hanover, Germany, and was awarded First Prize in the 1988 ARD International Music Competition in Munich. Mr. Quasthoff appears throughout the US and Europe both in recital and with orchestras such as the Berliner Philharmoniker, New York Philharmonic, Boston Symphony, Vienna Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, and London Symphony Orchestra. An exclusive Deutsche Grammophon recording artist since 1999, Mr. Quasthoff's recent releases include two Schubert masterpieces: Die schöne Müllerin and a DVD performance of Winterreise with Daniel Barenboim. A dedicated teacher and advocate for young vocalists, Mr. Quasthoff was a professor at the Music Academy in Detmold, Germany, from 1996–2004 and is currently Professor of Music at the Hanns Eisler School for Music in Berlin. Mr. Quasthoff was featured as a Perspectives artist at Carnegie Hall during the 2006–2007 season.

Thomas Adès currently holds The Richard and Barbara Debs Composer’s Chair at Carnegie Hall. As part of this one-year appointment, Mr. Adès’s talents will be highlighted in a series of concerts, recitals, and presentations throughout Carnegie Hall’s 2007–2008 season. Born in London in 1971, Mr. Adès is highly regarded not only as a composer but also as a pianist and conductor. Among his best-known orchestral works are Asyla, Living Toys, and Arcadiana. His opera Powder Her Face was televised by Channel Four/LWT and also recorded on the EMI Classics label. Mr. Adès’s second opera, The Tempest, was premiered to critical acclaim at the Royal Opera House in February 2004, under the baton of the composer, and was revived at the ROH in March 2007. Mr. Adès’s music has been programmed by many international orchestras and ensembles in over a dozen countries worldwide. He has received commissions from the Berliner Philharmoniker, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, the New York Philharmonic, the Hallé, the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group, Ensemble Modern, and London Sinfonietta, as well as the Cheltenham and Aldeburgh festivals, Almeida Opera, and Royal Opera Covent Garden. Festivals devoted to his music have included Helsinki (1999 and 2007); Radio France in Paris, which presented 24 of his works in Présences in February 2007; and the Barbican in London, which featured 11 during the Traced Overhead Festival in April 2007. Since 1999, Mr. Adès has served as Artistic Director of the Aldeburgh Festival, and during the 2005–2006 and 2006–2007 seasons, he was in residency with the Los Angeles Philharmonic as conductor, pianist, and composer.

The history of the Berliner Philharmoniker has been written by the legendary music directors who preceded Simon Rattle. They include Hans von Bülow, who helped establish the orchestra’s high musical standards; Arthur Nikisch, who during his 27-year tenure brought the ensemble to international stature; Wilhelm Furtwängler, who significantly expanded its repertoire to include works by major 20th-century composers; Herbert von Karajan, who cultivated the orchestra’s distinctive sound, made countless recordings, and founded its Salzburg Easter Festival; and Claudio Abbado, who developed cycles of concerts having specific thematic concepts, and who brought more than half of the current players to the ensemble. Under Simon Rattle’s direction, while upholding this tradition of excellence, the Berliner Philharmoniker is expanding its cultural mission by developing projects designed to bring music and music education to the widest possible audiences.



About Carnegie Hall’s Berlin in Lights Festival
Presented from November 2–18, Berlin in Lights is a 17-day celebration of the extraordinary city that is Berlin today, offering a snapshot of Germany’s vibrant capital city through orchestral, chamber, cabaret, world, and techno music concerts as well as film, architecture, literature, and photography events. With close to 50 events presented at Carnegie Hall and throughout New York City, the scope of the festival is made possible through collaborations with a broad range of cultural partners including The American Academy in Berlin, the Center for Architecture, the German Consulate General in New York, Goethe-Institut New York, the Guggenheim Museum, The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Neue Galerie New York, P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, Thirteen/WNET New York, WNYC—New York Public Radio, and the World Music Institute.

The concept for Berlin in Lights grew out of Carnegie Hall’s plans to present an eight-day residency by Sir Simon Rattle and the world-renowned Berliner Philharmoniker. This residency, taking place November 10–18, will include three Berliner Philharmoniker concerts featuring Mahler’s last three works coupled with contemporary music, four chamber music concerts with ensembles drawn from the ranks of the orchestra, free chamber performances by Berliner Philharmoniker musicians in communities throughout the city, and major arts education projects with the New York City public schools. In the nine days leading up to the orchestra’s residency, a wide range of Berlin in Lights concerts, exhibitions, panel discussions, and film screenings will be presented on all three stages of Carnegie Hall and at partner venues throughout New York City, providing an illuminating exploration of Berlin’s cultural scene.

Further information on all events and participants may be found at Carnegie Hall’s dedicated Berlin in Lights website: www.carnegiehall.org/berlininlights . The website features a full listing of events, performers, and repertoire, as well as a multimedia component featuring essays on Berlin, audio interviews, video footage, photographs from Berlin in Lights events, and blogs from New York-based writers and participants in the festival.
