Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra at Colston hall in Bristol on Thursday 17th May 2018
The Dresden Philharmonic was founded in 1870, and brought a new spirit to the city’s public music culture with its performances at the Gewerbehaus-Saal. The orchestra remains dedicated to catering for a diverse audience. In addition to its classical-romantic core repertoire, the Dresden Philharmonic also performs contemporary compositions, such as commissioned works from Sofia Gubaidulina, Rodion Schtschedrin, Gija Kancheli, and Michael Nyman.
Over the course of its long history the Dresden Philharmonic has been conducted by such musical giants as Johannes Brahms, Peter Tchaikovsky, Antonín Dvorák and Richard Strauss, conducting their own works. Since then the orchestra has welcomed a multitude of highly acclaimed musicians, including in more recent times, Sir Neville Marriner, André Previn, Karl-Heinz Steffens, Yuri Temirkanow, Yan Pascal Tortelier, Sebastian Weigle,Simone Young and Lothar Zagrosek among many others.
In 1909 the Dresden Philharmonic became one of the first German orchestras to perform a concert tour in the United States. Since then concert tours have taken the Dresden Philharmonic to the major music centers of Europe, the Americas and Asia.
