history
The early days (1874-1893)
From 1874 amateur musicians came together under the direction of the choir conductor Carl Majors , from which the Hannoversche Instrumentalverein was founded in 1882. The first concert tour to Göttingen took place in 1893 .
Hannoverscher Instrumentalverein (1897–1898)
After 48 concerts, Carl Major resigned from his position as conductor of the Hanoverian Instrumental Association in 1897 . The new conductor was the imperial music director Bruno Hilpert . In 1898 the Hannoversche Orchestervereinigung organized a concert with Joseph Joachim and the Hannoversche Male Choir in the Marktkirche . In the same year the orchestra performed the Frithjofsage together with the Hanover men's choir, where the composer Max Bruch conducted his work himself.
Hannoversche Orchestervereinigung (1911–1920)
With the merger of the Musikverein zu Hannover and the Hannoversche Instrumentalverein, the Hannoversche Orchestervereinigung was founded in 1911 under the direction of Friedrich Rammelt and under the protectorate of Mr. and Mrs. City Director Tramm . During the First World War , the orchestra performed five charity concerts between 1914 and 1916 for soldiers in the field and the bereaved of the fallen. In February 1920, the first concert after the war took place together with the amateur stage jugglers gang as a family evening followed by a ball. The actors in the gang of jesters were colleagues of Friedrich Rammelt from the opera house orchestra, members of the HOV, their wives and Rammelt himself.
Before the Second World War (1921-1939)
Friedrich Rammelt left the HOV in 1921 because he accepted a position as conductor of the Munich Orchestra Association. The new conductor was Otto Sondermann, who was in turn replaced by Emil Taegener in 1923. On April 21, 1939, the Hanover Orchestra Association's last concert before World War II took place.
After the Second World War (1946–1969)
From 1946 the HOV rehearsed with its new conductor Lutz Wilhelm, concert master at the opera house. On December 2nd, the first concert after the war took place together with the Young People's Club with the theme of music and poetry in German classical music . In November 1964 the orchestra played for the first time in the Lower Saxony State Broadcasting House . The long-time conductor of the Hanoverian Orchestra Association Lutz Wilhelm died on December 1st, 1969.
The time around the millennium (1970-2010)
Heinz Bethmann, double bass player at the Hanover State Opera , became the conductor of the Hanover Orchestra Association in 1970. The first concert with Heinz Bethmann took place on May 10th. In March 1974 the orchestra celebrated its centenary with a concert in the gallery building of the Herrenhausen Gardens . In the same year, Federal Interior Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher awarded the HOV the Zelter and Pro-Musica badges .
The early 21st century (since 2010)
In 2010, after more than 40 years, Heinz Bethmann handed over the Hannoversche Orchestervereinigung to his successor Martin Lill. In the farewell concert, works from almost all epochs of music history were performed.
