An Evening of Choral and Symphonic Music: Teodor Currentzis and musicAeterna Perform Brahms and Kurtág
Teodor Currentzis and musicAeterna will perform a concert at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory with the program "Brahms, Kurtág." This evening will feature works by two composers whose music explores themes of memory, loss, and human existence in different ways. The performance will feature the musicAeterna orchestra and choir, along with soloists Iveta Simonyan (soprano) and Vladislav Chizhov (baritone).
The program will center on works by György Kurtág, whose 100th anniversary is celebrated in 2026. "Songs of Despair and Sorrow" based on poems by Russian poets and "Tombstone for Stefan" reveal the composer's distinctive style—extremely laconic, emotionally charged, and word-centered. Kurtág's music combines strict form and inner tension, creating a profound philosophical statement.
This line will be continued by Johannes Brahms's "A German Requiem," one of the key works of the 19th-century choral and symphonic repertoire. Composed after a personal loss, the requiem addresses not mourning per se, but consolation and hope. Brahms constructs a musical narrative from grief to reconciliation, offering the listener a thoughtful and luminous finale.
The concert by Teodor Currentzis and musicAeterna promises to be a notable event of the concert season. On our website, you can purchase tickets for the Teodor Currentzis and musicAeterna concert "Brahms, Kurtag" and select your seats in advance. Don't miss the opportunity to hear a rare program that combines music from different eras and a powerful artistic statement.
