2. Epic. Brahms' Double Concerto and Bruckner's Unfinished Ninth
In their own way, both are farewell works: the double concerto with which Johannes Brahms concluded his orchestral work, and the unfinished Symphony No. 9 by Anton Bruckner. Not every farewell has to be tearful: while Brahms swears his friendship with one of his most loyal artistic companions, Bruckner once again expresses his certainty of faith in music. In addition, we are looking forward to seeing Cornelius Meister, who grew up in Hanover, at the conductor's desk again in this final symphony concert of the season!

3. Wedding. A concert of music and conversation with works by Mozart
For Jörg Widmann, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a very special fixed star in the compositional cosmos. What fascinates a modern artist about Mozart's music? For Widmann, it is above all its extreme emotional range: "This change in the smallest of spaces, from absolute cheerfulness to a kind of premonition of death, I know of hardly any other composer." As a result, Mozart can be played on every conceivable occasion: "At a baptism, a wedding, a funeral - what music can you say that about?", says Widmann.

4. Pierrot lunaire. Chamber music, reading and art in the Sprengel Museum
Schoenfield and Schönberg - not only do they sound similar, but there are also some similarities between these composers. Both were of Jewish descent and lived for a long time in the USA. But while the Viennese Arnold Schönberg was forced to emigrate in 1933, Paul Schoenfield went the other way: Born in Detroit, he spent his last years in Israel, where he died last April at the age of 77.
