Klassik airleben 2023

Every year, thousands of picnickers listen in fascination to the sounds of the Gewandhaus Orchestra at the end of the season at "Klassik airleben". "The concert series in Rosental makes culture accessible and tangible for everyone. As part of the city of Leipzig, Porsche wants to play an active role in social life. It is a matter close to our hearts to support "Klassik airleben" as a presenter for the eighth time this year," says Gerd Rupp, Chairman of the Management Board of Porsche Leipzig GmbH.

"35,000 culture enthusiasts listened to the fourteenth edition of "Klassik airleben" despite the adverse weather. The Gewandhaus Orchestra, conducted by Andris Nelsons, performed (late) romantic works, which this year are dedicated to rhythm in music: Ballet music by Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky as well as the percussion concerto entitled "Inferno" by Daniel Bjarnason. The Icelander composed the percussion concerto "Inferno" for the virtuoso skills of Martin Grubinger. The encores offered rousing musical highlights and a preview of next year's motto: film music."
