Collegium Musicum Weimar Presents a Romantic Concert Program at the Schießhaus
As is customary, Collegium Musicum Weimar is presenting a double bill at the end of the semester with a major concert program. Under the motto “Korn_Horn_Zorn,” (late) Romantic works by Robert Schumann, Antonín Dvořák, and Erich Wolfgang Korngold will be performed on Saturday, July 4 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, July 5 at 6:30 p.m. at the Schießhaus in Weimar.
Tickets are 8 euros (reduced rate 5 euros) and are available at the Weimar Tourist Information Office as well as at the box office.
The soloists will be a horn quartet from the Department of Wind Instruments and Percussion, featuring, among others, Weimar horn professor Jörg Brückner, who will personally take up the instrument. Sebastian Ickstadt will serve as artistic director and conductor of the Collegium Musicum Weimar.
The program features Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s late Theme and Variations, Op. 42; Robert Schumann’s Concert Piece for 4 Horns in F Major, composed with great enthusiasm; and Antonín Dvořák’s dreamlike, melancholic Symphony No. 7 in D minor.
The Collegium Musicum Weimar, founded in February 1994, arose from the desire of school music students to perform challenging symphonic works in an orchestra themselves. Professor Michael Berg served as the Collegium’s first conductor before it was handed over to the students of the Department of Conducting and Opera répétiteur studies. At the start of the 2018 winter semester, the Collegium was incorporated into the University of Music Franz Liszt Weimar as an official university ensemble and consists largely of students of music education and musicology.
The musical rehearsal process is enriched by students from the Bauhaus University Weimar, the Friedrich Schiller University Jena, the University of Erfurt, as well as working amateur musicians from all over Thuringia. A concert program is developed each semester through weekly rehearsals and a rehearsal weekend. There is also a collaboration with major students at the Weimar Music university, some of whom assist in the orchestra but also shine as soloists.
The orchestra has been conducted by Lorenz Nordmeyer, Malte Hellwege, Johannes Klumpp, Justus Thorau, Cornelius During, Vladimir Yaskorski, Sergi Roca, Ustina Dubitsky, Robin Portune, Seonggeun Kim, and P. Mauricio Sotelo-Romero. Since the summer semester of 2025, Sebastian Ickstadt has been at the helm of the Collegium Musicum Weimar.
