On April 6 & 7, Alan Gilbert comes to Hamburg to conduct the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester in Mahler’s Third Symphony.
Alan states: “Conducting the Mahler 3 in April at the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg will be an exciting moment – it will be the first time I’m conducting the orchestra since it was announced that I’ll be the chief conductor. It’s a piece that I feel very close to and it certainly will exploit the range of possibilities that this new hall offers an orchestra.”
In summer 2019, Alan officially succeeds Thomas Hengelbrock as Principal Conductor of the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester for a term of five years.
