Conductor

Violinist

It is not unusual for composers to arrange their own chamber music works for larger ensembles. However, the character of the piece often changes fundamentally: William Walton's Sonata for String Orchestra - an arrangement of his String Quartet in A minor - is actually a concerto for string quartet and orchestra, according to the composer Christopher Palmer. Walton does not simply transfer the quartet to the larger ensemble, but plays with the alternation between solo passages reminiscent of the original ensemble and the full tutti sound.

Chamber concert

House Eden

The Lübeck Philharmonic Society is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a special concert in collaboration with the Lübeck Theater and the Lübeck University Orchestra. The program includes works by composers who have received and continue to receive less attention than they deserve due to their origin, gender or skin color. This concert, led by a renowned conductor, thus positions itself artistically for diversity and against discrimination and unequal treatment in the music world.

One of the most impressive works by the French composer Olivier Messiaen was written in 1940/41, while he was a prisoner of war in a labor camp near Görlitz: "Quatuor pour la fin du Temps" (Quartet for the End of Time) - a musical meditation on the Apocalypse of John in eight movements. The instrumentation was based on the forces and instruments available in the camp: a clarinet, a violin, a cello and a broken piano played by Messiaen himself. The premiere took place in January 1941 in the camp's theater barracks.
