The Junge Deutsche Philharmonie is one of the best youth orchestras in Germany. For this year’s performance at the Berlin Philharmonie, the ensemble has invited a threefold talent: Jörg Widmann is a composer, clarinetist and conductor, and in this concert presents himself in all three functions – with the clarinet sonata in E flat major by Felix Mendelssohn which he has transcribed for orchestra, Robert Schumann’s Second Symphony, and his 2005 Mass for Orchestra.

The Junge Deutsche Philharmonie and conductor David Afkham present a marvellous French programme. In addition to Berlioz’s famous Symphonie fantastique, the musicians – all German conservatory students – play two less familiar gems: Messiaen’s meditative Les Offrandes oubliées and the sublime soundscapes of Dutilleux’s Cello Concerto Tout un monde lointain ... with the highly renowned cellist Steven Isserlis.
