METAMORPHOSIS OF THE SOUL
ASSOCIATIONS TO ROBERT SCHUMANN'S 4TH SYMPHONY
At the 2nd Philharmonic Concert, the “Schumann Open,” an original composition by Peer Baierlein will be performed, along with Schumann’s Piano Concerto interpreted by Schumann Prize winner Rei Harada. During the 4th Symphony, sand artist Svetlana Telbukh will also take the stage.
The 2024 International Schumann Competition attracted many talented pianists to Zwickau, and one of the prizewinners, Rei Harada, will perform the timelessly beautiful A minor Piano Concerto with the Clara-Schumann Philharmonic.
Sand artist Svetlana Telbukh will create her own artwork during Robert Schumann’s 4th Symphony, enriching the musical experience with a stunning sand animation. Two ephemeral art forms meet, inspiring one another.
The Clara-Schumann Philharmonic will perform under the direction of GMD Leo Siberski.
Next project
Little Mermaid
Enchanting story of the “Little Mermaid” brought to life through the fascinating sand animation of Svetlana Telbukh in collaboration with the Theater Altenburg Gera. Under the direction of conductor Changmin Park, the orchestra will perform Benjamin Britten’s “The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra”, accompanied by the narration of Ruth Ohlmann. This performance combines music and visual storytelling and immerses the audience in the little mermaid’s journey full of love and curiosity in the human world.

Day of German Unity
On October 3, 2019, during the live broadcast of the “Day of German Unity” celebration from Kiel on ZDF, the Philharmonic Orchestra Kiel performed accompanied by Svetlana Telbukh, who presented a touching sand animation story about the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Spain’s got talent
On the TV show “Spain’s Got Talent,” sand artist Svetlana Telbukh delivered something truly unique to the audience. She took on the challenging task of creating portraits of the judges using sand, a material that demands exceptional skill and precision. Every movement was carefully thought out.
The audience was stunned when they recognized the judges, and the hall erupted in a standing ovation.
