Entitled “Inner Landscapes”, this evening suggests an intimate quest, an exploration of emotions and movement in three pieces, two of which are new additions to the repertoire.

In Vers un pays sage (1995), choreographer Jean-Christophe Maillot pays tribute to his father, the painter Jean Maillot. To the frenzied music of John Adams, the dancers engage in a dazzling marathon, a joyful explosion of colour.

Aszure Barton makes her Paris Opera debut with a black-and‑white piece, Busk (2009), whose title refers both to the English word for street performance and the Spanish buscar (to search). Using gypsy and choral music, the Canadian choreographer highlights the potential of the dancers’ bodies in an expressive and virtuoso language, sometimes close to mime.

Finally, William Forsythe’s sharp writing marries David Morrow’s music to offer the Rearray trio, a brilliant set of theme and variations pushing bodies to their limits.

Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche's meeting with Richard Wagner is the start of an intense friendship and an equally dramatic break. In the newly written musical theatre performance by Joakim Sten, we meet actor Jonas Karlsson who, while hiking on a Swiss alpine peak, reevaluates a musical genius.

The philosopher Nietzsche based his entire thinking on music. When he met the great composer Richard Wagner as a young man, he was overwhelmed – both artistically and intellectually. Wagner befriended him, had him write lyrics that praised Wagner himself, and shaped him into his ideological disciple. But as Nietzsche began to see through his mentor and despise his growing anti-Semitism, the questions grew: Where will this lead? What kind of world will this create?

Akerman’s 16mm film, first shown in 1993, was shot in Poland, Ukraine, East Germany, and Russia amidst the unstable period following the collapse of the Eastern Bloc. Observing landscapes and people, the poignant film evokes an uneasy malaise through long, extended shots and looping repetition. Akerman re-edited the film in 2005 and paired it with musical selections by Wieder-Atherton that include masterworks by composers including Béla Bartók, Frédéric Chopin, Leoš Janáček, Bohuslav Martinů, Sergei Prokofiev, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Maurice Ravel, Alfred Schnittke, and Boris Tchaikovsky.

Even though our Christmas concert in the Kreuzkirche has become a beloved tradition, it is far from routine: the Christmas customs of the countries we visit musically, the moods and languages ​​of different styles and ensembles are too diverse. This year we're traveling back to Germany's past: Christmas with "Papa Bach" in a small Silesian village or with Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy in Berlin. In the 1820s, there was already a Christmas market there with over 100 stalls, the sensation perhaps being the evening illuminations, which contrasted with the darkness in which much of the city was shrouded at night.

Duet or duel? There's no question that Cecilia Bartoli and Lang Lang are among the greatest virtuosos in their respective fields. But they probably never dreamed that they would one day share the stage together for an entire tour. Their first musical encounter took place in 2008, when Cecilia Bartoli organized a gala concert with many famous colleagues in honor of the 200th anniversary of the death of the celebrated opera singer Maria Malibran. Lang Lang was there too – and the spark flew immediately! The same energy, the same preference for colors and delicate nuances in music, but also the same playful joy in pitting their virtuosity against each other in a humorous duel. The fact that the continuation of their collaboration, already planned back then, is now finally becoming a reality is nothing short of a sensation.

The German composer Franz Wüllner first introduced "Serenade" in 1882. That same year, conductor Richard Strauss showcased the orchestral work in a Dresden performance, attracting the attention of renowned conductor Hans von Bülow, who played a role in advancing Strauss’s career. While “Serenade” has a classical formal structure, its melodic content hints at vibrant themes rich with passion and lyricism, which Strauss explores in his later works.

For more than twenty years, the four virtuoso musicians have treated their audiences worldwide to mind-boggling musical capers – from Vivaldi to vocal acrobatics, from tango to »Tatort«, from rap to Rachmaninov. »Salut Salon is a passion that simply needed an outlet«, says the ensemble’s founder Angelika Bachmann. The current program, »Heimat« (Homeland) takes the typical Salut Salon approach to this multi-faceted notion, collecting music the four musicians have encountered on their travels. That includes works by Mozart, Saint-Saëns and Copland, songs from Finland, France, China and Egypt, unknown and famous pieces, their own compositions, and of course, as always: Tango Nuevo by Astor Piazzolla. At the same time, it offers an answer to the self-imposed quest to define homeland: Salut Salon is at home in the world – and its homeland is music!
