Philharmonix - Topic

Philharmonix, a seven-member ensemble made up of musicians from the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonics, will be going on a world tour in 2019 with a new programme. Its trademark is an ability to breathe fresh life into great musical history with ingenious arrangements and new compositions that are spiced in masterly fashion with jazz, folk, pop and other elements. And this all ranges from classical music and jazz to rock, from Ludwig van Beethoven and Henri Mancini to Queen. The accompanying studio album of the “Vienna Berlin Music Club”, as the ensemble is also known, will be released by Deutsche Grammophon in the coming year as Volume 2. The French-German cultural TV broadcaster ARTE is also already producing a special documentary about this exceptional septet.

The new Philharmonix programme also includes the Queen anthem “Don’t Stop Me Now” (which can almost be taken as a motto for the ensemble) alongside a waltzful Johann Strauss, and a swinging Beethoven next to a jazzy Gershwin, while Bartók skips along beside the slinking theme from “The Pink Panther” by Henry Mancini.
