Special festivals also need special moments and this year it is a world premiere of an orchestral concerto. The composer is none other than Philipp Thönes, known from the "Putbuser Klaviersommern" and various solo evenings here at the theater. A very young, highly talented pianist, prize winner from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, from Rostock has created this work. The sponsoring association has made it its mission to "offer young talents a stage" as part of its festival. The Prussian Chamber Orchestra under the direction of Jürgen Brun - also a regular guest in Putbus - was immediately enthusiastic and prepared to work on this new creation together with Thönes at the piano and perform it exclusively for the festival visitors in this orchestral concert in the Fürstliches Schauspielhaus.
Jürgen Bruns is Artistic Director and Chief Conductor of the Kammersymphonie Berlin and Chief Conductor and Music Director of the Prussian Chamber Orchestra. Since 2025, he has also been Artistic Director of the Putbus Festival together with his wife Tatjana Blome.
After several years as chief conductor of the KOS Ljubljana and his intensive involvement with contemporary music there, he is now a sought-after conductor in Europe and Asia.
The concert formats and programs that Jürgen Bruns chooses provide the listener with a special, new and enlightening listening experience.
