Event description

A hen, a swan, the nightingale and other birds come together here: Haydn had anything but poultry in mind when he wrote his Symphony No. 83, but because of the "cackling" theme in the second movement, a clever contemporary gave the work its famous nickname - "La poule". Hindemith, on the other hand, used some themes from folk songs in his viola concerto, including in the third movement. "Seid ihr nicht der Schwanendreher" is heard there - and the concerto already had its nickname. Bernd Alois Zimmermann's Un petit rien is also ornithological. The work, which was created as radio play music, consists of seven aphoristic movements that are clearly more than just "Ein kleine Nicht". Igor Stravinsky's symphonic poem Le chant du rossignol was based on his first opera The Nightingale, which is based on the fairy tale of the same name by Hans Christian Andersen. It will not only be incredibly good, but also magical – and with Elena Schwarz at the podium and violist Tabea Zimmermann, it will be another highlight of the anniversary season!
