Chamber Concert I: “Tradition and Openness”

Mozarteum University Salzburg

“All aboard!” – Paul and his friend Lily set sail. They discover a sunken island, a ship among the stars, a city on the sea, and a golden fish which reveals to them the secrets of the deep. Boris Friedewald’s story Paul’s Journey to the Fish is inspired by the colourful marine paintings of Paul Klee – as is Sándor Veress’s sonorous Hommage à Paul Klee. Rufus Beck’s reading, Klee’s paintings, and music by Veress combine to form a magical meeting of storytelling, art, and music. Immerse yourself in this fascinating world of fiction, colour, and sound!

School concert “Hommage à Paul Klee”

Berliner Philharmoniker

This season, our Berliner Philharmoniker Ensembles series is dedicated to Ludwig van Beethoven; 2027 marks the 200th anniversary of his death. Beethoven’s “Große Fuge” is a work of astonishing modernity and expressive power – qualities that many of his contemporaries found bewildering. Yet the work left a profound impression on the young Felix Mendelssohn: shortly after Beethoven’s death, the 18-year-old composed his Opus 13, in which he repeatedly alludes to the music of his great predecessor, including the Große Fuge. The programme opens with Beethoven in a lighter mood – with the Serenade in D major and the Duet with Two Obligato Eyeglasses.
