An evening for the grand sound: MDR celebrates Weber in Suhl
With the MDR Concert: “Freischütz”, a program focusing on Carl Maria von Weber will take the stage on September 5, 2026, at the Congress Centrum Suhl, commemorating the 200th anniversary of his death. The MDR RADIO CHOIR, the MDR SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, and conductor Dennis Russell Davies connect opera, choir, and symphonic reflection for an evening full of suspense, color, and auditory depth.
Weber in focus: Forest, light, and the uncanny
Weber's music opens spaces where nature is not just a backdrop but unleashes dramatic power. Freischütz is considered a key work of Romanticism, and this very idea shapes the program in Suhl: overtures, hunting choruses, and symphonic continuations draw a musical picture between hunting calls, night, and silence.
A symphonic arc from Smyth to Schumann
The evening does not stop at Weber. Ethel Smyth's prologue from The Forest sets an atmospheric beginning, Paul Hindemith's Symphonic Metamorphoses on themes by Carl Maria von Weber brings orchestral energy into play, and Schumann's ballads from The Page and the King's Daughter expand the concert arc with vocal drama. Thus, a concert experience emerges that masterfully intertwines history, orchestration, and emotional tension.
Live atmosphere in CCS: large stage, clear acoustics
The Congress Centrum Suhl provides a fitting setting for this classical evening. The Great Hall creates both intimacy and space, while the ensemble works with precise synchronization and a nuanced sound image. Those who love orchestral fine drawing, powerful choral passages, and the dynamics of a top-tier radio orchestra will experience a night with a strong audience atmosphere here.
Introduction and planning for visitors
The concert introduction begins at 4:15 PM in the Bankettsaal Kaluga. Admission to the Great Hall should be completed by 4:45 PM, and the concert starts at 5:00 PM. For arriving, the CCS has its own parking garage, bus stops right at the venue, as well as good connections to the city center.
Conclusion: A concert for Romantic fans and orchestra lovers
This MDR concert connects Weber's romantic sound language with an excellently cast program and a high-caliber ensemble. Those wishing to experience the magic of Freischütz, the power of grand choral scenes, and the force of symphonic tradition live should mark this date in Suhl and not miss the evening at the Congress Centrum Suhl.
