ZeitenLos, Beethoven Reimagined for a New Century. Hamburg.
In the 2026/27 season, the Philharmonic Concerts turn their focus to Ludwig van Beethoven, honoring the 200th anniversary of his passing in 2027. A season that invites us to dissolve the boundaries of time and encounter Beethoven anew — as energy, as emotion, as a universal language.
Under the motto “ZeitenLos”, Omer Meir Wellber weaves together all 37 movements of the nine symphonies, opening unexpected sound spaces filled with life, contrasts, inner relationships, ideas, and inspirations. A journey suspended between eternity and the present moment.
At its core stands the iconic “fate motif” of the Fifth Symphony — perhaps the most recognizable gesture in all symphonic music. Paired with movements from the Seventh and Fourth Symphonies, it creates a harmonic and rhythmic tension that reframes Beethoven beyond familiar listening habits.
The programme begins with Piotr I. Tchaikovsky’s “Fatum”, a symphonic poem shaped by destiny, and continues with Fazıl Say’s evocative piano concerto “Silence of Anatolia”, performed by the composer himself.
A season of fate, transformation, and timeless resonance.
