A Morning Between Sound Ecstasy and Transcendence in the Mercatorhalle
On Tuesday, December 15, 2026, the Mercatorhalle Duisburg will open its doors for a special public rehearsal for the 4th Philharmonic Concert I Feel Air from Another Planet. At 11:30 AM, the Duisburg Philharmonic will meet Stefan Blunier, Asya Fateyeva, and the vocal ensemble LauschWerk in the Philharmonie Mercatorhalle – making the creative process of a grand concert evening directly palpable.
A Program with Gravitational Pull
The title alludes to the aesthetic tension of the program: Works by John Williams, György Ligeti, Enrico Chapela, and Gustav Holst concentrate orchestral colors, rhythmic precision, and great emotional arcs. During the rehearsal, it will become audible how soundscapes layer, how conducting sharpens contours, and how a dense live atmosphere develops from individual entries.
Asya Fateyeva Between Elegance and Expressivity
Asya Fateyeva is considered one of the distinctive saxophone voices of her generation. On her official website, she is presented as an artist who continuously reimagines her instrument in a classical context; the Süddeutsche Zeitung praised her sound as elegant and masterful. This mixture of virtuosity and rich tone promises a concert experience with special brilliance in Duisburg.
The Mercatorhalle as an Acoustic Resonance Space
The Mercatorhalle is located in the heart of Duisburg's city center, is accessible from the main train station in about ten minutes on foot, and is well connected by the U79 as well as lines 901 and 903. On-site, there are barrier-free accesses, elevators, and wheelchair spaces available. Parking is generally possible, but the venue currently indicates limited parking capacities in the surrounding area.
Open Rehearsal, Direct Proximity, Great Tension
Public rehearsals offer a rare glimpse behind the scenes: One experiences corrections, repetitions, and fine-tuning between orchestra, soloists, and choir. This proximity adds to the allure. For those who want to not just hear music but feel its creation, this morning offers a full experience of concentration, intensity, and subtle goosebumps.
Conclusion: This public rehearsal creates excitement for the grand concert evening and showcases the Philharmonie in its approachable, electrifying form. Anyone who wants to experience classical music as a living process in Duisburg should not miss this date at the Mercatorhalle.
