Constantinos Carydis conducts Guiraud, Koukos, Berlioz

Teatro La Fenice

The premiere of a new work by Unsuk Chin unfortunately had to be postponed. Instead, we will open the concert with the Adagio for string orchestra by Periklis Koukos. At the end, we will hear »Five Greek dances for string orchestra« by Nikos Skalkottas, replacing his »Four Images« which were originally planned.

Museum Ludwig

It marked a turning point in Robert Schumann's life: After many setbacks and several unsuccessful applications, the composer received a call to the Rhine at the end of 1849 – as Municipal Music Director in Düsseldorf. The father of several children was ecstatic and, in a flurry of creativity, composed both his cheerful "Rhenish" Symphony and his Cello Concerto in quick succession, a work his wife Clara praised for its "vigor, freshness, and humor." In Bern, the latter work will be performed by the multi-award-winning German cellist Friedrich Thiele.
