David Philip Hefti with the Stuttgart State Orchestra: Performances of Final(ment)e – Beziehungsweisen für zwei Trompeten und Orchester (December 2025)

On 7 and 8 December 2025, the Stuttgart State Orchestra will perform the work Final(ment)e – Beziehungsweisen für zwei Trompeten und Orchester by David Philip Hefti at the Liederhalle Stuttgart. The concert will be conducted by General Music Director Cornelius Meister.

The two soloists, Alexander Kirn and Lennard Czakaj – the principal trumpeters of the orchestra – will shape, together with the orchestra, a unique interplay of sound and spatial perception. Composed in 2021, this double concerto for trumpets explores themes of encounter, distance, and the search for connection. A continuous accelerando structures the work’s three parts, culminating in an emphatic finale. Through its spatial disposition of players, the piece deliberately embraces a certain degree of acoustic ambiguity – a key element of its dramaturgy and expressive force.

These performances promise an intense live experience in which music is not only heard, but also spatially felt – driven by the energy of the orchestra and the presence of the two soloists.
