Sounds of Destiny in Hof: An Evening Between Stardust and Goosebumps

The Hofer Symphoniker invite you on Friday, March 20, 2026, to the 7th Symphony Concert in the fest hall of the Freiheitshalle. Chief conductor Martijn Dendievel shapes a dramaturgically coherent program from Borodin through Glière to Tchaikovsky's Fifth – a concert experience with brilliant orchestration, vibrant horn sound, and great audience atmosphere.

Sound Colors of the Steppe

Alexander Borodin's A Steppe Sketch from Central Asia opens the evening with fine orchestration and breathing lines. The orchestra paints wide horizon images, the woodwinds sing, the strings shimmer – the live atmosphere carries every motif to the last rows.

Brilliance for Horn and Orchestra

Reinhold Glière's Horn Concerto in B-flat major op. 91 showcases the solo instrument as a lyrical storyteller and virtuosic partner. Soloist Christoph Eß – multiple award winner and solo horn player of the Bamberg Symphony – combines noble tone, precise articulation, and sovereign synchronization with the orchestra into an impressive stage performance.

Tchaikovsky's Path to the Stars

Per aspera ad astra – Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 in E minor op. 64 spans a wide arc: dark gravity in the Andante, noble brilliance in the waltz, triumph in the finale. Dendievel's conducting bundles energy, sound, and form; the acoustics of the fest hall make phrases bloom; a highlight of the season.

Introduction and Context

The concert introduction at 6:30 PM prepares you with the history of the works, motifs, and listening focus for the evening. This deepens the understanding of orchestration, thematic transformation, and the emotional architecture of the program.

Conclusion

An evening full of indulgent melodies, strong contrasts, and intense emotions awaits you. Secure tickets from 31 Euros and experience the Hofer Symphoniker live – close, powerful, unforgettable.
