“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!

Family concert “Hommage à Paul Klee”

Brahms and Bruckner both shared a fondness for “Gselchtes mit Knödel” – smoked meat with dumplings – but the similarities ended there. “Bruckner’s works are not compositions, they’re a fraud,” Brahms once remarked – and the antipathy was very much mutual. All the more intriguing, then, to set the two composers side by side, as in this chamber music evening. Bruckner is represented by his tender Intermezzo, rich in Ländler rhythms, while Brahms’s String Quintet No. 2 shifts between exuberance and melancholy. Opening the programme is the effervescent String Quintet No. 2 by Felix Mendelssohn, performed by the Brahms Ensemble Berlin.
