To open the season, the FKO will play one of Mozart's most famous melodies: "Eine kleine Nachtmusik" is not only a popular catchy tune, but above all a brilliant piece of music full of compositional sophistication. The String Quintet in C minor is also a night music: Mozart originally wrote it as a wind octet and adapted it for strings. Hidden between the mystical outer movements is a magical Andante that sounds like a relaxed evening stroll.

Chief conductor Johannes Klumpp combines this with an elegant Viennese piano concerto, in which Mozart demonstrated his mastery as a composer and as a soloist on the piano. The young and multi-award-winning pianist Nikola Meeuwsen from the Netherlands will be performing the expressive solo part for the first time with the FKO. An elegant and lively start to the season in Villa Hügel!
