History
Bad Harzburg was a spa town from 1892, attracting an international clientele.[1] The Harzburger Musiktage festival was founded there in 1970 by the violinist Luz Leskowitz from Salzburg,[2][3] after the model of the Menuhin Festival Gstaad.[2] He played with colleagues, including members of the Berlin Philharmonic and Wiener Philharmoniker, such as cellists Wolfgang Boettcher and Шаблон:Ill, double bassist Ludwig Streicher, violist Ernst Wallfisch and his wife, pianist Lory Wallfisch.[4] Leskowitz founded his own ensemble, the Salzburger Solisten (Salzburg Soloists) who gave their founding concert at the Kaiserpfalz Goslar as part of the 1979 festival.[2]
In 1988, the concert series received recognition as an international festival.[5] The annual festival has offered six to eight concerts in June. In the beginning, concerts were given in the old Casino, now the Kurhaus. Additional venues include the Шаблон:Ill in Bad Harzburg, the Kaiserpfalz Goslar and the Rittersaal of Шаблон:Ill.[5] From 1988, the festival often had a regional motto, beginning with Dänemark zu Gast (Denmark visiting), followed on a focus on music from France, Austria, Dresden, Berlin and Hamburg.[5] In 1989, the Ensemble Wien-Berlin gave its first public concert in Bad Harzburg.[5] Founder Leskowitz was artistic director until 2005. It is the third-oldest classical music festival in Lower Saxony.[6]
Program
Since its beginning, world-renowned soloists, ensembles and orchestras have performed at the Harzburger Musiktage. Another focus are young performers, such as recipients of prizes at Jugend musiziert and other competitions.[5]
In 2018, the festival featured a symphony concert in the Kursaal, with the Шаблон:Ill conducted by Juri Gilbo, with David Geringas as the soloist in Dvořáks Cello Concerto. A series "Junge FestivalFans" offered programs for children and young listeners.[7] The program for the 50th festival was more expanded, with soprano Simone Kermes, pianist Francesco Piemontesi, and the NDR Radiophilharmonie conducted by Andrew Manze, among others.[6]
Sponsoring
On 1 July 1972, the Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Harzburger Musiktage (Society for the support of Harzburger Musiktage) was founded.[8] It helps financing the festival by contributions from its around 240 members as well as donations and funds from the state, the city, the spa[5] and the broadcaster NDR.[1] Until the German reunification in 1990, the festival was sponsored also by the Шаблон:Ill promoting regions near the border within Germany, Шаблон:Ill. After the unification, the Society approached cultural foundations and companies to support the festival, to maintain its high standards.[5]
