Not everything in their program is classical. But everything has class. Tomorrow evening, the Philharmonix will grace the Shenzhen Concert Hall and take fans on a mind-blowing musical adventure.
Bringing together three members of the Vienna Philharmonic, two Berlin Philharmonic soloists, one of Austria’s most versatile pianists, and an improvising, singing violinist, the Philharmonix combine a sophisticated sense of humor with effortless musical agility.
They move seamlessly from the sublime to the playful, guiding their audience on a joyous roller-coaster ride across musical genres. Prepare for a deliciously heady cocktail of classical, jazz, klezmer, Latin, pop, and pure, old-fashioned fun.
With their signature blend of philharmonic excellence and unrestrained joy in music-making, the seven-member ensemble has become synonymous with passion, virtuosity, and delight.
What makes Philharmonix unique is that all their original compositions and arrangements are crafted collaboratively. Typically, cellist Stephan Koncz and violinist Sebastian Gürtler draft the initial versions, which are then enriched with feedback and creative input from the entire group during rehearsals. These ideas are refined into the final pieces performed on stage.
Yet even these versions are not set in stone. At every performance, the ensemble aims to offer something fresh and unexpected, often weaving in spontaneous improvisations to keep each show uniquely alive.
Tomorrow’s program promises diversity and innovation. Highlights include Koncz’s arrangement of Mozart’s “Turkish March,” which retains the original’s bright joy while infusing it with jazz vibrancy, and his adaptation of Dvořák’s “Humoresque,” where a playful touch enhances the work’s warm tones.
The lineup also features two heartfelt Latvian folk tunes, a dramatically reimagined version of Piazzolla’s "Tango Apasionado," and Chopin’s “Prelude,” rendered with less melancholy and more soothing resonance.
Audiences can also look forward to two original works by Koncz: “Titanic” and “Hey!” — each fully showcasing the ensemble’s vibrant energy and emotional depth.
