Franz Schubert set the scene of the "cheerful," "capricious trout" from Christian Schubart's poem to music in one of his most famous and popular songs. So popular that, a few years after this popular success, he used the themes of the "Trout" song as the basis for a sequel: the equally cheerful "Trout Quintet." Within Schubert's oeuvre, the posthumously published piano quintet is the only one of its kind. Before the Simply Quartet crowns its Ordenssaal concert with this captivating and characterful piece, it will perform excerpts from the first string quartet by jazz musician and composer Wynton Marsalis and the late-discovered and published "Poem" by the late Romantic composer Rebecca Clarke.

Oklahoma State University

Double bassist Dominik Wagner performs with orchestras in Germany and the United States and has won numerous prizes as a competitor, including the Opus Klassik for Young Talent of the Year in 2022, the ECHO Klassik, and the Fanny Mendelssohn Förderpreis. An avid promoter of the double bass, Wagner is dedicated to expanding the repertoire for the instrument, seeking out new works and performing with such mastery that Bavaria’s Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper wrote of his playing, “one would think that the double bass is the softest-sounding and most virtuosic string instrument.” He has performed with the Emerson String Quartet, the Danish String Quartet, and violinist Isabelle Faust, among others, and holds a professorship for double bass at the University of Music Würzburg.
