Overview

To round off the season, star pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet will also be returning to Bern. At the helm: Chief Conductor Krzysztof Urbański!

In 1913, one of the greatest scandals in music history rocked the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris: the premiere of Igor Stravinsky's ballet music The Rite of Spring, choreographed by Vaslav Nijinsky. Stravinsky portrayed his musical images with seemingly archaic rhythms and boundless energy, triggering storms of outrage among the premiere audience. Today, the work is a classic and established as one of the seminal compositions of the 20th century, both on the ballet stage and in the concert hall. The Concerto in F for piano and orchestra is similarly energetic to Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring. Gershwin is considered one of the first composers to make jazz acceptable in symphonic music, enjoying equal acclaim on Broadway as he did in the concert hall. With its catchy melodies and lively rhythms, Gershwin's Concerto in F was immediately well received by the audience, earning him the accolade of "masterpiece" from Igor Stravinsky himself. The concert opens with the world premiere of an overture for large orchestra by our Composer in Residence Guillaume Connesson, whose fascinating sonic cosmos will have accompanied the Bern Symphony Orchestra's entire concert season.

Venue Info

Casino Bern - Bern
Location   Herrengasse 25 / Casinoplatz 1

One center for community, one point of contact, one concept: for the first time in the Casino’s history, the Burgergemeinde of Bern combine culture, culinary arts and events – and deliver “everything under one roof”. As the home of the Bern Symphony Orchestra and host to a variety of other concert events, the Casino Bern offers culture at its best.

Let yourself be moved, inspired and tempted in the newly renovated cultural venue – conveniently located in the center of Bern’s beautiful old town.

History meets modernity! The Burgergemeinde Bern and Director Ivo Adam have created the perfect place to come together – for the city, the region and beyond.

Since its opening in 1909, the Casino has been the cultural and social meeting place in the heart of Bern – and will remain so in the future. For over one hundred years it has radiated a unique atmosphere and grandeur; and the list of illustrious guests that has included Louis Armstrong, Grace Kelly and Herbert von Karajan will continue to grow. For the first time the casino owner, the Burgergemeinde, has assumed management of the culinary offerings, under the direction of Ivo Adam. Another premiere: the Casino Bern is proud to be organizing its own in-house cultural events.

The Burgergemeinde raised around 78 million francs to restore the late baroque classicist building which was reopened in September 2019. Following the motto “Back to the Future”, the renovation took care to follow the original designs from 1909 as closely as possible.
