Tarmo Peltokoski to conduct Lohengrin at the 2027 Bayreuth Festival

Congratulations on this Bayreuth debut!

Peltokoski will give his debut performance at the Bayreuth Festival in 2027 with Richard Wagner’s Lohengrin. We are delighted for him and extend our warmest congratulations to him and the Bayreuth Festival on this artistic collaboration.

Tarmo Peltokoski has been Principal Guest Conductor of The Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen since 2022 (continue reading…). Reflecting his passion for Wagner, one of Wagner’s works has always featured – and continues to feature – on the Kammer­philharmonie’s programme. In January 2027, Peltokoski will be performing with the orchestra and soloist Vilde Frang at venues including the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, the Konzerthaus in Vienna and the Centro Congressi Lingotto in Turin. In May 2027, he will reunite with The Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen to conduct Wagner’s opera Tristan und Isolde (Act 2).

›europiano‹

On June 21, the traditional ›Fête de la Musique‹ was once again celebrated on the streets, squares, and stages of France. Everyone who plays an instrument — from amateurs to internationally acclaimed music stars — was invited to perform publicly and free of charge on the day of the summer solstice. The idea originated more than 40 years ago, and today the Fête de la Musique is celebrated in many other countries as well.

With the project ›europiano‹, the Franco-German television channel ARTE expanded on this idea and presented outstanding piano concerts at iconic locations across Europe, performed by exceptional soloists and orchestras. The highlight of the day — and the only live concert — was the performance by The Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen, which took place outdoors against the breathtaking backdrop of the Acropolis in Athens.

From the evening’s program, Ludwig van Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 was broadcast live on ARTE.tv, performed by the orchestra under the direction of Greek conductor Constantinos Carydis, with Lukas Sternath at the piano. The concert is available to watch until 27 June 2027.

In memoriam

Prof. Dr Reinhard Hoffmann

9 August 1936 in Dresden † 28 July 2026

It is with sadness and deep gratitude that we bid farewell to Reinhard Hoffmann. We largely have him to thank for the fact that the Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen has had its home in Bremen since 1992 and over time has evolved here into an orchestra of international acclaim. We knew him as a passionate architect, pioneer and creative force behind Bremen’s cultural policy, whether promoting the Weserburg Museum or the Musikfest Bremen. As Bremen State Councillor for Education and Science and subsequently Head of the Senate Chancellery, he was the strategic lead who campaigned resolutely in the early 1990s for our orchestra to relocate to the Hanseatic city. In doing so, he persuaded quite a few decision-makers – including those at the very top – that this would be a win for Bremen. In the years that ensued, the music-loving lawyer followed the fortunes of the Kammer­philharmonie with great passion and personal commitment: as an advocate, supporter and season-ticket holder. We shall miss Reinhard Hoffmann and shall hold him in grateful memory.

Joyful tour

The profound sense of mutual joy during the Asia tour showcasing works by Mozart was tangible: in Japan and South Korea The Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen under the baton of Principal Conductor Paavo Järvi elicited rapturous ovations from the audience – and the outstanding hospitality of the hosts deep gratitude from the orchestra. The musical adventure kicked off together with pianist Rafał Blechacz in the city of Kumamoto, Japan, on 7th December 2024, followed by a performance in the Minato Mirai Hall in Yokohama – a special venue for our musicians, who performed the very first Beethoven Cycle here in 2006. The tour continued to Tokyo, where the orchestra performed with violinist Daishin Kashimoto, before being joined by rising Spanish violin star María Dueñas for further exhilarating concerts up and down the country. After eight concerts in six major Japanese cities, the orchestra and conductor travelled on to South Korea, more precisely to Incheon, Seoul and Daejeon, where together with the 20-year-young pianist Yunchan Lim they celebrated an unforgettable debut and tour finale to enthusiastic shouts of ›bravo‹.
