JEAN JACQUES LEMETRE

Music theater in Düsseldorf: Lemêtre embodies and plays “Heinrich Heine's “Le Grand” in a play about Heine's encounter with the French tambour major “Le Grand” and the ambivalence of power and revolution.
Premiere: March 13, 2025
And: there is a new fascinating solo program: the concert-talk "MusicaloPithèque"
Illustrated with a selection from his collection of over 3000 instruments, Lemêtre tells and plays the development of man and his instruments from the Stone Age to the present day.
To Lemêtres most important
concerns, however, belong his many master
classes, seminars and international
conferences, in which he spreads his knowledges
gathered from all over the world to pave the way for future generations in the countries of
origin, where some instruments and musical traditions have already been
forgotten or lost.
He also shares his artistic
experience and know- ledge to students, profes- sional stage
artists and interested amateurs within the framework of interna- tional workshops, for whose subject matter and
orientation he uses the term "Le Corps
Musical",
These workshops
and seminars can also be booked through ART
WORKs.
Lemêtre's complete musical range and
intercultural creative work over more than half a
century can now be experienced on Lemêtre's website as well as in a series of
videos on Lemêtre's recently launched YouTube
channel "Nomade de la Planète Bleue" - have a look!
Aside, he continues to write music for theater, dance , festivals and Tv and
movies. Just
now he's focusing on concerts with Live -Music
for silent films.

LUCA LOMBARDI |

Lombardi's composition "Novembernacht" (November Night), a work
commissioned by the Piano Festival Ruhr,
had a highly acclaimed premiere in the frame of the festival in Bochum on June 27, 2023.
Sir Andras Schiff,
for whom Lombardi wrote his composition and to whom it is dedicated,
gave a magnificent premiere performance.
Now, Lombardi is working again on his opera project "Ohra - A Woman on
the Run from a Message" (based on the novel of the same name by David
Grossmann), which he had to put on hold for a while because of other
composition commissions.

A good bye:
After more than 30 years, our collaboration with
Günter A. Buchwald will come to its end with the closing of this seaon.
We are happy upon a last special highlight:
the silent film concert "Jewish
Luck", a comedy based on a novel by Sholem Alechem, with
which
the Jewish Culture Days and the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg made a
courageous
statement for humanity in the face of the terrible conflict in the
Middle
East - acclaimed by a sold-out hall with long applaudings.
Buchwald and Klezmer clarinettist Helmut Eisel
performed "Fantasy for Jewish Luck",
the score Buchwald composed for the film.
Thank you - for great cinema with wonderful music!

Our last cooperation with
Shlomo Mintz for his performance of the Violin Concerto by Dvorak with Würth Philharmonics was
received with enthusiasm by press and audience:
"If the audience is already thrilled by this
interpretation of Dvorak, it is downright ravished by Shlomo Mintz's
highly virtuosic encore - the Paganini Caprice No. 24."
We're happy, that this last cooperation with
Schlomo Mintz has been
emphasized with this beautiful final event.
Bye, bye Maestro and thank you for
the beautiful moments with your music...
