Winter 2026 | Nordlicht & Feuervogel | Dortmund

18.01.2026 | Dortmund

Mit jugendlicher Energie und unter der Leitung der estnischen Dirigentin Anu Tali startet das Bundesjugendorchester mit einem farbenreichen Programm in das neue Jahr. Jean Sibelius’ sinfonische Fantasie „Pohjolas Tochter“ entführt in die nordische Mythologie, während Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdys berühmtes Violinkonzert e-Moll mit lyrischer Schönheit und Virtuosität glänzt – interpretiert vom niederländisch-amerikanischen Geiger Stephen Waarts. Damit und mit Mendelssohn Bartholdys dramatischer „Athalia“-Ouvertüre und Igor Strawinskys Suite „Der Feuervogel“ (1919) entfalten die jungen Talente eine faszinierende Klangreise, bei der nordische Bilder, dramatische Konflikte und magische Welten aufeinandertreffen und ein intensives Erlebnis für die Sinne schaffen. Dabei stellen die Titelheldinnen zentrale, mythische und oft ambivalente Figuren dar, die Macht, Rätselhaftigkeit und Einfluss verkörpern. In Strawinskys „Feuervogel“ symbolisieren die weiblichen Figuren Hoffnung und Erlösung, indem sie als Auslöser für das glückliche Ende agieren.
