3rd Choriner EuropaKonzert 2026 – Memorial Concert for Prof. Dr. Peter Gülke
Staatskapelle Halle
András Schiff • Piano
Nabil Shehata • Conductor
The Choriner Musiksommer mourns the loss of Prof. Peter Gülke
Peter Gülke • Conductor (born April 29, 1934, in Weimar; † April 26, 2026, in Weimar)
It was with great sadness that the Choriner Musiksommer learned on the evening of April 26, 2026, of the death of Peter Gülke, just a few days before his 92nd birthday in his hometown of Weimar.
A teacher and friend—that was Peter Gülke—to many musicians. He brought his beloved music to life in the most intense and heartfelt way for audiences who experienced him as a conductor and music educator during the introductions to his concerts.
This concert will be held in memory of this great European, conductor, and musicologist.
George Frideric Handel • Concerto Grosso, Op. 6, No. 6 in G minor
Franz Schubert • Symphony No. 7 in B minor, D 759, Op. 29, “The Unfinished”
Ludwig van Beethoven • Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat Major, Op. 73
Pre-concert talk at 2:15 p.m. in the Refectory
Two different concert formats are juxtaposed in the Staatskapelle Halle’s program: On the one hand, a Baroque concerto grosso, conceived for a more chamber-music-like concert experience in which a group of soloists takes center stage, playing together or “concerting.” On the other hand, Beethoven’s fifth and final piano concerto, which in form and expression represents the type of large-scale, dramatic work and requires a single outstanding virtuoso and a large, powerful, and sonorous orchestra. With András Schiff, Peter Gülke—who has long been closely associated with the Brandenburg Festival—brings a proven expert on Beethoven’s works to Chorin.
