Chamber Concert I: “Tradition and Openness”

Mozarteum University Salzburg

Only the original instrumentation – and not one of many arrangements. That was the strict requirement of the three musical adventurers, Daniel Ottensamer, Stephan Koncz, and Christoph Traxler. The result is a complete anthology for clarinet trio, from which three pieces were chosen for an exciting journey. It begins with the healing power of bel canto sounds. For after a breakdown in Italy, Vincenzo Bellini enthusiast Mikhail Glinka essentially healed himself with the composition of his Trio pathétique. John Ireland then takes us to Britain's coast, complete with a sea shanty, before we reach the summit with the trio titan Beethoven.

Founded by members of the Berlin and the Vienna Philharmonic, the ensemble Philharmonix is fearless in its musical explorations, combining the highest level of music-making with great entertainment. Its trademark is an incomparable virtuosity and the joy the musicians bring to their music-making, which is immediately communicated to the audience. The stylistic breadth is breathtaking, encompassing classical, jazz, folk, pop, but also Latin. Not everything here is classical music, but everything has musical class.

PSSS: Beyond Boundaries

Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall

Before the soloists can shine in the 9th symphony concert, the evening opens with Franz Schubert's Overture in C major in the Italian style. He wrote this in 1817 after a performance of Rossini's "Tancredi" and bet with friends that he too could write such music.

Staatstheater Braunschweig

An unforgettable performance in Tokyo: Rudolf Weinsheimer, founding member of the ensemble, addresses Emperor Akihito, himself a cellist and regular concertgoer, in Japanese. When he speaks to him directly, the entire audience rises. Since their founding in 1972, the 12 Cellists of the Berliner Philharmoniker have been sought after worldwide. With a repertoire ranging from classical music to jazz, tango, and even the Beatles, they inspire their fans – from children to emperors.

Festspielhaus Baden-Baden

Franz Welser-Möst’s final concert as Music Director of The Cleveland Orchestra is a lively homage to the Viennese musical tradition so near and dear to his heart. The evening opens with Schubert’s pastoral Overture to Rosamunde, followed by a series of spirited dances and overtures by Lanner and the Strauss family. At the center of this swirling soirée, the world premiere of Stephan Koncz’s Czardas celebrates the signature flexibility of The Cleveland Orchestra under Welser-Möst’s baton — a fittingly festive farewell.
