Triumphant season opening with Puccini's Turandot

In the symphony concert Tief im Abendrot on 13, 14 and 15 January 2025, Marc Niemann will bring Johanna Senfter's (1879-1961) Second Symphony to the concert stage for the first time since its premiere. With nine symphonies, Max Reger's master student left behind an extensive oeuvre that points from late Romanticism to modernism without crossing the boundaries of tonality.

After Senfter's death, her work was largely forgotten and her musical legacy has remained dormant in the archives of the Cologne University of Music and Dance ever since. In recent years, these musical jewels have gradually been rediscovered, and for the concert of the Philharmonic Orchestra Bremerhaven, the symphony was reconstructed from the manuscript sources and set as a professional, printed score.

Deutschlandfunk Kultur will record and broadcast the concert
