The Orchestre de Paris – Philharmonie will present two compositions dedicated to exceptional musicians in its concert at the Musikfest Berlin. Luciano Berio, who would have turned 100 this year, composed his funeral music “Requies” in memory of the singing legend Cathy Berberian who passed away in 1983. A work written for a living legend has been composed for this concert by its conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen: Stefan Dohr, principal horn player of the Berlin Philharmonic, will explore the tonal world of his instrument in this new horn concerto. To round off the programme, the celebrated Sibelius conductor Salonen will conduct the Finnish national composer’s Symphony No. 5.
