Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra Honours Gabriel Feltz's Legacy

Gabriel Feltz, a renowned figure in the world of classical music, has left an indelible mark on the Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra. His tenure as General Music Director from 2004 to 2013 saw significant contributions to the artistic development of the esteemed orchestra.

Feltz led the orchestra with personal dedication, a strong local presence, and a hands-on approach to performance. His intelligent and varied programs, which included both well-known pieces and new, unknown works, have left a lasting impact on both the orchestra and its audience.

The city of Stuttgart's cultural administration, musicians, and management collectively honour Feltz's work. They acknowledge his commitment to performing new and unknown pieces, his affection for the Stuttgart audience, and his infectious lightness and joy in concert introductions.

The appreciation for Feltz's work extends beyond the orchestra and the cultural administration. The first mayor of Stuttgart during Feltz's tenure as General Music Director is not explicitly named in the available search results. However, Dr. Fabian Mayer, who served as the First Mayor of Stuttgart in a more recent event, is on record expressing recognition for the cultural administration and the leadership of the Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra during Feltzโ€™s tenure.

The management of the Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra also acknowledges Feltz's work, expressing gratitude for his dedication and vision. All musicians of the orchestra echo this sentiment, collectively acknowledging Feltz's significant impact on the Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra.

In a city where the arts thrive, Feltz's work for the Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra is not just celebrated, but cherished. His legacy lives on, not just in the music he helped create, but in the hearts of the city and the orchestra he served so passionately.
