Information about the programme
Fünf Freunde [Five Friends] is the title of the exhibition (which runs until August 17) dedicated to the works and artistic circle of Cy Twombly, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Merce Cunningham, and John Cage. Examining cultural politics during the Cold War as well as the issue of what it meant to be a homosexual during this time opens up new perspectives on the historiography of post-war Modernism. As part of this collaboration, the musicians of the BRSO will be joined by more than 100 friends and will focus on the composer John Cage through chamber music concerts and panel discussions as well as “BRSO und du” programs at Museum Brandhorst.
The conductor: Sasha Scolnik-Brower
Since this season, the “Bernard Haitink Conducting Fellowship”, under the mentorship of chief conductor Sir Simon Rattle, has offered young, highly talented conductors a two-year scholarship at the BRSO. Its first winner: the 30-year-old American Sasha Scolnik-Brower, who will conduct this concert.
