An evening for sonic extremes and great musical tension
With resonance - Donor Concert 2026 on September 6, 2026, one of the most distinctive formats of musica viva comes to the Isarphilharmonie. The program features the Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra, Jörg Widmann, and the grand sound world of Wolfgang Rihm I - a concert evening that makes contemporary music audible with maximum energy, precision, and intellectual depth.
New music with electric tension
The event is tailored to contemporary orchestral art: sharp contours, fine layerings, rhythmic impulses, and a sound that brightly illuminates the hall. The Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra is regarded as an ensemble for new and contemporary music and brings exactly the concentration needed to transform complex scores into an intense live experience. Jörg Widmann stands not only as a prominent clarinetist and composer but also as a conductor, providing musical authority and interpretative breadth on the podium.

Widmann, Rihm, and the tradition of the present
The evening embodies the spirit of a scene where contemporary music does not appear as a marginal phenomenon but as the center of concert life. Widmann's body of work and impact history is closely linked to the great European music tradition, while he also represents a spirit of adventure in sound and interpretations that illuminate every nuance. The reference to Wolfgang Rihm additionally anchors the concert in one of the most important lines of German avant-garde. Schott Music points to Widmann's close connection to Rihm and his successes as a soloist and composer; the Berlin Philharmonic describes his works as extraordinarily diverse.
