Conductor: Vitali Alekseenok

Recorder: Lucie Horsch

Hear the birds singing and see nature awaken

Our artist in residence, recorder player Lucie Horsch, performs her third concert at PLT with Philzuid.

Baroque or an exciting crossover; this season we have experienced that the sparkling Horsch unconditionally sweeps you along. In doing so, she continues the great recorder tradition of giants like Frans Brüggen. “With Lucie Horsch, one sees a rare unity between musician and instrument,” the jury judged after Horsch won the 2020 Dutch Music Prize.

A special concert
With Philzuid, Lucie welcomes spring in all its facets with a program ranging from Handel’s Acis and Galatea to the contemporary work of the Estonian post-minimalist Erkki-Sven Tüür. Hear the birds singing and see nature awaken. What certainly cannot go unmentioned is Mozart’s Jupiter Symphony and the debut of Vitali Alekseenok. Despite his young age, he is already Head of the Deutsche Oper am Rhein and Artistic Director of the Kharkiv Music Festival in Ukraine. This festival organizes concerts in bomb shelters, subway stations, and hospitals during the war. In many respects, this is, in short, a remarkable concert.
