31 December 2024 Weimar (Germany)
New Year's Eve concert
Deutsches Nationaltheater und Staatskapelle Weimar conducted by Frank Strobel - Weimarhalle
Program Info: Concert works by famous film music composers - without a screen. There are a remarkable number of composers who have composed for both the concert hall and the big screen. Erich Wolfgang Korngold, for example, had his roots in grand opera and later drew on this in Hollywood - only to then long to return to the classical genres. In addition to his countless Oscar-worthy soundtracks, the great John Williams also provided a variety of solo instruments with attractive virtuoso concerts, and Leonard Bernstein vividly reports on his frustration when his own music was unceremoniously toned down in "On the Waterfront" so that the audience could hear Marlon Brando moaning all the more with pleasure heard. One art - two worlds... Build the bridge with us and discover the stars of film music in their purest form and without a screen. What brilliant experts, artists and storytellers! Frank Strobel is one of the most internationally accomplished conductors with an incredibly diverse stylistically diverse repertoire. He has been one of the most committed protagonists in the interdisciplinary field of film and music for years and has made a significant contribution to the film concert finding its way into the leading opera and concert halls.
In addition to his role as chief conductor of the WDR Funkhausorchester, Strobel gives silent film concerts at leading festivals and orchestras, including in Paris, Milan, Gothenburg, Helsinki, Frankfurt, London, Luxembourg, Oslo, Seattle, Dresden, Sydney, Vienna and Zurich. He works as a consultant for the silent film program of the TV station ZDF/ARTE. Since his parents ran a cinema in Munich, Frank Strobel came into contact with films as a child and, from the perspective of the projection room, soon discovered the fascinating role of music as an expanded narrative layer to moving images. Since then he has been committed to the preservation, rediscovery and new composition of film music - a musician with heart and soul who burns for the genre like no other.
