Jörg Widmann is currently Composer in Residence with the Berlin Philharmonic. To mark the end of this collaboration, he has composed a new work for the orchestra and its principal horn Stefan Dohr. The Hornkonzert (Horn Concerto) will be premiered on 30 May at the the Philharmonie Berlin under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle, the orchestra's former chief conductor.

As the title insinuates, No. 36 (NONcerto for Horn) by Richard Ayres defiantly strays from the sounds and ideals of a traditional Horn Concerto. The Philharmonische Orchester Hagen brings this angular piece to Hagen and Finnentrop on the 18th and 19th of October. As he has done many times before, The Berliner Philharmoniker’s horn soloist Stefan Dohr plays the solo part under the baton of Joseph Trafton.
