Schubert's Ninth

Severance Music Center

Join us for an unforgettable evening dedicated to celebrating the 70th birthday of the renowned composer Wolfgang Rihm, a pivotal figure in Germany's music scene since the 1970s. The concert, titled "For Wolfgang Rihm I," is part of the musica viva series, known for its dedication to contemporary music. This special event is scheduled for Tuesday, 8th March 2022, at 8:00 pm, taking place in the majestic Herkulessaal of the Munich Residence.

The evening's program is a testament to Rihm's vast and varied body of work, featuring performances of his "Missa brevis for choir a capella," "Terzinen an den Tod" - four poems by Albert Vigoleis Thelen for baritone and piano, commissioned by musica viva for the 2021/22 season and marking its world premiere, and "Vier Studien zu einem Klarinettenquintett" for clarinet and string quartet composed in 2003.

The concert will showcase the talents of baritone Georg Nigl, pianist Olga Pashchenko, clarinetist Jörg Widmann, and the Bavarian Radio Chorus, alongside soloists from the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks. This event not only celebrates Rihm's contributions to music but also highlights his influence on students and contemporaries, including Jörg Widmann, who will present the quintet studies.

Don't miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in the works of Wolfgang Rihm, performed by some of the most distinguished musicians of our time. For tickets and further information, visit the BRticket-Webshop or contact the ticket hotline.

For Wolfgang Rihm I

Munich Residence

Das Ensemble Modern begeht in diesem Jahr sein vierzigjähriges Bestehen. Beim Musikfest Berlin gestaltet es einen Konzertabend mit zwei Vertrauten: Mit dem Komponisten und Dirigenten George Benjamin, mit dem das Ensemble bereits seit vielen Jahren regelmäßig zusammen arbeitet, und mit Wolfgang Rihm, dessen raum- und zeitgreifende Komposition „Jagden und Formen“ es bereits vor 12 Jahren uraufführte. Damals war „Jagden und Formen“ noch eine überschaubare Partitur, die sich über die Jahre zu einer gigantischen Werklandschaft von einer Stunde Dauer entwickelt hat.
