Yggdrasil , the world ash, encompasses the entire cosmos : animals and humans, mythical creatures and gods, from the underworld through the Middle World to the heavens. In Norse mythology, the gods created this tree to connect all nine worlds and everything that lives within them. We take you musically into these worlds full of wonder and beauty, from the roots to the outermost branches of Yggdrasil . The artist duo Kopffarben complements Matthias Werner's impressive and colorful music with light paintings that bring the mythological stories to life and immerse us deeply in them.

Spanning worlds

Beethoven Hall

What, pray tell, is a cornet? One could say it's the soft, rounded sister of the radiant trumpet. Where the trumpet blares, the cornet caresses. French composers, in particular, employ it when a brass instrument's color is needed, perhaps for a love scene, a painful farewell, a yearning cantilena. For the first time, our principal trumpeter Sandro Hirsch, together with his colleagues, presents the cornet in a chamber concert with the Beethoven Orchestra, with two works for the same instrumentation: Danish and French Romanticism, flanked by the quintessential Impressionist string quartet: Ravel's only, mysterious, and rhythmically pulsating String Quartet in F major.
