‘Night Watch’ is the motto that will serve as a bracket for the concerts of the 2024/25 season, sometimes very concretely, sometimes associatively – you will find some thoughts on this in the foreword.

This is the third season in which we are continuing our fruitful collaboration with our three Associated Conductors Bas Wiegers, Jörg Widmann and Enrico Onofri. The exceptional cellist Nicolas Altstaedt, who has been an artistic partner and good friend of the orchestra for many years, will be ‘in the spotlight’ twice in the MKO’s subscription series. And we look forward to other outstanding guests such as the sopranos Sarah Maria Sun and Christina Landshamer, the violist Tabea Zimmermann, the cellist Anastasia Kobekina, the oboist François Leleux and the tenor Julian Prégardien.
