SoundPictures in Bochum: When a young orchestra transforms music into colors
On Sunday, June 21, 2026, the young orchestra NRW will present a concert at the Anneliese Brost Music Forum Ruhr in Bochum that sets sound and image in a dense, atmospheric dialogue. With Lilian Eicks on saxophone and Ingo Ernst Reihl conducting, the evening features works by Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, Alexander Glasunow, as well as Modest Mussorgsky and Maurice Ravel. The event is scheduled for 18:00 to 19:30, with admission costing 15 euros; it is free for students and pupils.

An evening between gallery and concert hall
“SoundPictures” is more than a classical symphonic concert. The program asks how music opens visual spaces: Čiurlionis paints a forest landscape with tones, Glasunow makes the saxophone shine in bright colors, and Ravel's orchestration of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition sharpens the focus on musical contours and sound perspectives. This is exactly where the appeal of this concert lies: in its fine orchestration, dynamic range, and a live atmosphere where each phrase acts like a brushstroke.

The young orchestra NRW: young, ambitious, symphonically focused
The young orchestra NRW works with young musicians and has committed, according to several sources, especially to the symphonic repertoire of the Romantic and late Romantic periods; in announcements and portraits, the ensemble's work has been described for years with large-scale programs and high artistic freedom. For Bochum, this means: no routine evening, but a precisely constructed concert experience with a clear musical profile and genuine audience atmosphere.
