A Spanish flair pervades the expanse of the Rheingau region – a unique and exclusive combination of the award-winning Azahar Ensemble, the celebrated violinist Javier Comesaña, and the outstanding pianist Juan Pérez Floristán. With a program as diverse as it is artistically high, featuring works by de Falla, Chabrier, Liszt, and Ravel, as well as a special arrangement of numbers from Bizet's "Carmen" for wind quintet and piano, the Spanish musicians offer a promising sound experience that offers both big and small surprises from southern European music. Perfect conditions for a concert fiesta in the Fürst-von-Metternich Hall of Schloss Johannisberg!

Spanish Chamber Music Night

Schloss Johannisberg

This year's festival summer not only celebrates Spain's music and artists, but also the 150th birthday of Maurice Ravel. In addition to his innovative orchestration, the French composer is known for his colorful and rhythmically sophisticated works with a Spanish influence. Ravel repeatedly focuses on one instrument: the saxophone. He greatly appreciated the instrument's sonic possibilities and played a key role in establishing it in classical music. Reason enough to offer a stage to both the up-and-coming saxophone quartet Kebyart and the French composer in this concert. The Catalan ensemble will be accompanied by award-winning pianist Juan Pérez Floristán. In addition to Ravel, this exclusive line-up will also present music by Rameau and the Spaniard Joan Pérez-Villegas, thus building a musical bridge between the two neighboring countries.
