It was in the evening on 23rd May 2022 that the COE set foot for the first time in the newly-built, not yet open, Casals Forum, a concert hall commissioned by the Kronberg Academy for its students to perform in a hall that truly showcases the outstanding level of music education provided by the Academy. For a number of years, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and the Kronberg Academy have been working in Partnership, with the COE being invited to perform a number of times in Kronberg, including for the celebration of the Academy’s 25th anniversary in 2018. We are thrilled that this partnership has resulted in an invitation to become orchestra-in-residence at the Casals Forum where we can rehearse ahead of tours as well as perform smaller scale concerts with some of the Kronberg Academy students and teachers.

Casals Forum

Join us for an enchanting evening of music and history with "Watch this space: Kirill Gerstein & Friends" at the TonHalle in Munich's Werksviertel-Mitte. This late-night chamber concert, set for Wednesday, 21 September 2022, at 9:00 pm, promises a unique auditory journey back to the wild sound of the 1920s, celebrating 100 years of radio in collaboration with BR-KLASSIK.

The program features an exquisite selection of works that capture the essence of the era, including Francis Poulenc's Trio für Oboe, Fagott und Klavier, Bohuslav Martinů's La revue de cuisine, H.161, and several arrangements of Johann Strauß Sohn's classics by Arnold Schönberg, Anton von Webern, and Alban Berg. These pieces will be brought to life by the remarkable talents of Kirill Gerstein on piano, alongside Stefan Schilli (oboe), Heinrich Treydte (clarinet), Jesús Villa Ordóñez (bassoon), Herbert Zimmermann (trumpet), Thomas Reif and Korbinian Altenberger (violins), Alice Marie Weber (viola), Sebastian Klinger (violoncello), and Lukas Maria Kuen (harmonium).

Don't miss this opportunity to experience the vibrant and transformative power of music as Kirill Gerstein and friends take you on a journey through time. For tickets and further information, visit the BRticket-Webshop at shop.br-ticket.de.
