The harp master returns to the magnificent Grand Hall with three of his most esteemed artistic companions: the wonderful flautist Magali Mosnier, castanet legend Lucero Tena, and the Artistic Director of the Mozarteum Foundation, star tenor Rolando Villazón. The magic and power of friendship make this shared musical expedition, which begins at the two small sources of the Vltava River and leads to southern Europe, a deeply felt and highly emotional evening.

For several years now, Xavier de Maistre has demonstrated with great success that the harp deserves to be entrusted with far more interesting tasks than simply blending rippling glissandi and gently sparkling runs into the orchestral sound. The Frenchman has freed the harp from its clichés and redefined the limits of its possibilities – with exciting arrangements that occasionally strike more powerful notes. This also applies to his Spanish concert evening at Schloss Johannisberg, which the award-winning harpist will perform together with Lucero Tena on castanets: In works by Spanish composers, the harp is allowed to ignite fire and display temperament – ​​especially when the Mexican-Spanish castanet virtuoso Lucero Tena contributes the rapid rhythms.
