Flute and harp take centre-stage for this concert – both in duet and in combination with other instruments. Emmanuel Pahud, principal flautist of the Berliner Philharmoniker, and solo harpist Marie-Pierre Langlamet present a programme of French music – elegant, sensuous and virtuosic – with their orchestral colleagues. Also on the programme is Rêverie française composed by Bruno Delepelaire, principal cellist of the Berliner Philharmoniker. Each concert in the series this season will feature a work by our Composer in Residence Wolfgang Rihm, who died in 2024; this time, his tautly atmospheric septet En plein air.
