On Sunday, October 18, 2026, the Young Orchestra Collective Ulm will present significant symphonic literature on the stage of the Edwin-Scharff-Haus in Neu-Ulm. Starting at 6 PM, the ensemble blends dramatic orchestral moments, virtuosic solo passages, and colorful sound worlds into an evening concert with high musical tension.

An Introduction with Wagner's Dramatic Power

Richard Wagner's overture to The Flying Dutchman opens the program with distinctive brass sounds, powerful crescendos, and an orchestral atmosphere filled with storm and longing. Precise synchronization and a clear musical dramaturgy make the beginning an impressive entry into the concert evening.

Hindemith's Viola Concerto in Focus

With Paul Hindemith's The Four Seasons, a significant work of viola literature follows. Louis Vandory will be featured as the soloist. The dialogue between viola and orchestra presents warm, earthy tones in contrast with modern harmonic tensions. The orchestration demands attention to fine balance, rhythmic precision, and the unique expressiveness of the solo instrument.

Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet Full of Movement

The concert concludes with excerpts from Sergei Prokofiev's ballet music to Romeo and Juliet. Dance motifs, sharp accents, and intense emotional contrasts bring the stage action to life in the audience's imagination. Between lyrical passages and energetic bursts of sound, a concert experience emerges that showcases the full color palette of a young symphony orchestra.

The Young Orchestra Collective Ulm was founded in 2019 and unites over 70 musicians aged 16 to 30 from Ulm and the region. Under the artistic direction of Sebastian Gunkel, the ensemble develops its programs during intensive rehearsal phases. The combination of communal engagement, democratic involvement, and demanding orchestral literature shapes the orchestra's stage performance.
