Overview

Musical fireworks – Martha Argerich said in an interview a few years ago that she could very well imagine life without concerts: “But I just can’t get around to it because new projects keep coming to me.” This gives her enthusiastic audience a reprieve that need to be used! Because in all the decades of her career, the Grande Dame has lost none of the fire and the irrepressible power of her playing and still brings intellect and poetry into a perfect balance with unearthly ease.

After Martha Argerich's acclaimed duo concert with Mischa Maisky in November 2022, it is a great pleasure and honor for the Albert Concerts to be able to attract the Argentine world-class pianist to Freiburg again, this time with “pure piano”: for an evening at two pianos she asked her compatriot Darío Ntaca to join in. She has already shared milestones with the fiery conductor-pianist, such as the founding of the Sinfonietta Argerich, at whose podium Ntaca has accompanied her namesake as a soloist numerous times since 2004. The two can also be heard regularly as a piano duo in the famous Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, home of the “Martha Argerich International Festival”. With the Ntaca, which is particularly celebrated for its Rachmaninoff interpretations, the Symphonic Dances, whose piano version Rachmaninoff made for himself and Vladimir Horowitz, promise to become a home game. With excellence at eye level, Argerich and Ntaca will also be able to shine in Mozart's cheerfully sparkling Sonata KV 448. You can look forward to musical fireworks!

Venue Info

Freiburg Concert Hall - Freiburg im Breisgau
Location   Konrad-Adenauer-Platz 1

The Freiburg Konzerthaus is a concert hall in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, that was opened to the public in 1996. Based on plans by architect Dietrich Bangert, the building is used for concerts and performances, as well as conventions and meetings. Under the working title "Cultural Event and Conference Location" ('Kultur- und Tagungstätte,' KTS), it was one of the most controversial building projects in Freiburg since the end of World War II. Until 2016, it served as the headquarters of the Southwest German Radio Symphony Orchestra. With its multiuse great hall, it serves as a venue for a range of diverse events.

The concert hall is located on Bismarckallee between Bertoldsstraße and Sedanstraße on the western side of Freiburg's old city. The Wiwilí bridge connects the Konrad-Adenauer-Platz courtyard directly to the lawn in front of the Herz-Jesu church in the adjacent neighbourhood of Stühlinger. The back of the building borders the city block of 'Stadttheater.

According to the architect Dietrich Bangert, the building cannot be associated with any currently established architectural style or tradition. The halls have been loosely integrated into the asymmetrical base of the building and the foyer extends over several floors and multiple staircases; due to this, the hall's construction is said to represent "a small piece of the city under a single roof". Furthermore, the facade almost completely reconstructs the former borders of the city block and the building adapts to the surrounding cityscape by having the same height as the neighboring buildings.

Rolf-Böhme-Saal
This rectangular concert hall is the heart of the Konzerthaus and built like a nave. It is 47 m long, 19 m wide, and has an average height of 19 m. The hall was named after Freiburg's former mayor Rolf Böhme, in whose term the Konzerthaus was built. The room can hold up to 1,744 people, which makes it the second biggest concert hall in Baden-Württemberg after the Festspielhaus in Baden-Baden.
