Gewandhausorchester Leipzig

Booking Required

Andris Nelsons conducts the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig in a programme pairing Dvořák’s Cello Concerto with Brahms’s Symphony No. 1. Soloist Gautier Capuçon shapes Dvořák’s lyrical lines with warmed, sonorous phrasing while the orchestra provides broad, shimmering support. Nelsons’s precise pacing and the ensemble’s rich string textures move from intimate lyricism to sweeping Romantic drama. Subtle orchestral colours highlight tensions and release, drawing listeners into a concentrated, emotionally charged musical journey.

Sunday 27 September, 17:00

Performed by the Arkhè Quintet — Edouard Liechti, Nicolas Jéquier, Patrick Leyvraz, Arthur Guignard and Pascal Desarzens — this programme gathers musicians from French-speaking Switzerland who have collaborated for two decades. As a quintet they bring Schubert’s String Quintet to life with attentive ensemble playing, revealing lush textures, resonant low strings and luminous melodic lines. The performance privileges attentive listening, intimate dynamics and slow-burn emotional intensity, where close interplay and delicate phrasing unfold a spacious, deeply human sound world.

24 – 27 September

Choreographed by Valeska Romero Curiqueo, Pewma (Mapudungun for “dream”) weaves dance, performance, live sound and poetry to trace transmissions between bodies. The piece confronts peripheral, wounded and violently marked identities through ritualized gestures and sensual collisions, invoking Venus as a figure of omen, destruction and rebirth. Live violin, synthesizers and vocals shape a tense, luminous soundscape as bodies dissolve and reconstitute, staging desire, friction and collective memory.

15 September – 11 October

A darkly comic solo play about obsession and domestic chaos. When Michel finds a rare record he has long sought, he prepares a perfect hour to listen — but family, neighbours and a drip that will wreck the disc steadily intrude. The piece skewers selfishness with sharp humour and precise staging, combining intimate realism and heightened farce to probe human smallness and the desperate desire for solitude.

In French.

18 – 27 September

Directed by Jérôme Bel, this collectively created theatre piece is written and performed by children aged 8 to 14.
