"I had to make a quick night of music," wrote Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on July 27, 1782 to his father Leopold about his Serenade in C minor, KV 388. This compositional milestone marks the end of a program with large-scale - and therefore unfortunately rarely heard - woodwind works that we have designed for our first concert in the impressive atmosphere of the salt warehouse of the Hansa coking plant. The program begins with the Octet in E-flat major, Op. 103 by Ludwig van Beethoven, a witty, playful and incredibly beautiful early work. The third work on the program is by the Czech composer Gideon Klein, who was killed in Auschwitz in 1945. His Divertimento, composed in 1939/1940, is a document of the inner resistance of an extraordinarily talented musician. The piece combines a vital, sometimes witty and aggressive divertimento spirit with a reflection of the threatening living situation in German-occupied Prague.

2nd Chamber Concert: Nacht Musique

Konzerthaus Dortmund

A highly attractive chamber music program that cannot be found in any other chamber concert series: two famous works from the core repertoire for string quartet stand alongside two witty, entertaining compositions in which bassoon and double bass join the classical quartet line-up.
