Great orchestral literature, youthful fire and an evening full of sound colors in Neu-Ulm

On Sunday, October 18, 2026, the Young Orchestra Collective Ulm will present a program at the Edwin-Scharff-Haus that combines symphonic power, emotional depth, and precise orchestral work. Starting at 6:00 PM, the energy of a young ensemble will meet the monumental language of sound of Wagner, Hindemith, and Prokofiev in Neu-Ulm.

A dramatic opening

Richard Wagner's overture to The Flying Dutchman sets a mark right at the beginning: dark, flowing, charged. This is where the allure of a live concert evening unfolds, as the large hall becomes a resonance space and each phrase visibly resonates with the audience's mood. The Young Orchestra Collective Ulm utilizes this tension for a concert experience that feels immediate, concentrated, and vibrant.

Viola artistry in the spotlight

With Paul Hindemith's The Four Temperaments, one of the most significant works of viola literature comes into focus. Louis Vandory is announced as the soloist. This promises not only technical precision but also finely nuanced orchestration and a sound interplay that articulates the character of the work between bitterness, agility, and lyrical tension. For lovers of classical concert music, this is a strong signal.

Emotional arcs of Prokofiev

To conclude, excerpts from Sergei Prokofiev's ballet music to Romeo and Juliet will follow. This music lives on contrast, drama, and colorful instrumentation. When the orchestra synchronizes the large arcs, sharp accents, and dancing motifs cleanly, a pull is created that elevates a symphony concert far beyond a mere prelude. Here, musical passion meets youthful presence.

The orchestra and its profile

The Young Orchestra Collective Ulm was founded in 2019 and now has over 70 members. The musicians, between 16 and 30 years old, predominantly come from Ulm and the surrounding region. Under the artistic direction of Sebastian Gunkel, a fresh, energetic sound emerges in intense rehearsal phases that stands out for its democratic structure and quality aspirations. This very mixture gives the ensemble its own authority in the regional cultural landscape.

The suitable setting in Edwin-Scharff-Haus

The Edwin-Scharff-Haus in Neu-Ulm offers a modern, barrier-free concert location with excellent acoustics, a spacious stage, and comfortable accessibility. Doors open at 5:00 PM, and the concert starts at 6:00 PM. The atmosphere in the house supports the evening without pushing itself to the forefront. This keeps the focus entirely on the musical experience.

Conclusion

This concert promises an evening full of symphonic tension, sound contrasts, and youthful musical energy. Anyone who wants to experience orchestral literature with character, precise stage performance, and great emotion live should not miss this date in Neu-Ulm.
