The spirit summons the forgotten voice of María through a crack in the pavement and tells her story. She was born on a day when God was drunk. “I am María ... María Tango, María of the suburbs, María Night, María fatal passion, María of love for Buenos Aires am I!” - Searching for happiness, she leaves the suburbs, glows, gets high and plays, sells herself and, in death, becomes a mystical figure. As a shadow, María wanders through a world of surreal encounters, tracing life backwards from oblivion to birth - until she finds redemption through poetry. On a holy Sunday.

Choir and tango? And even a liturgical text together with the most sensual of all dances, how does that fit together? Very well, as you can hear in this concert. In fact, it is a concert of discoveries. Because when do you ever hear a bandoneon in a concert hall? The sister of the accordion was invented in Chemnitz and began its triumphal march when the bandoneon made its entrance into South American tango orchestras at the beginning of the 20th century. Since then, it has become indispensable and is praised in Argentina as "the best German invention." String orchestra, bandoneon, piano, and our Philharmonic Choir - let yourself be taken into a musical world full of passion, pride, and sensuality! The concert is part of the Czech-German Cultural Days.

Bandoneon virtuoso and composer Omar Massa, originally from Buenos Aires, is considered the successor to the tango revolutionary Astor Piazzolla. Inspired by the new paths pioneered by Piazzolla, Massa combines the authentic sound of his hometown of Buenos Aires with the European chamber music tradition in his own compositions. In their exciting program,  "Buenos Aires Today," the trio members follow in the footsteps of Tango Nuevo and, enriched with the sounds of the 21st century, take it not only in new directions but also to new heights.

The cello, with its rich timbre, its vibrato that brings the sound to life, and its unparalleled velvety sound, is the instrument that is said to come closest to the human voice. It is therefore quite natural that the cello voice of Cyrille Tricoire de Haro, supersolo cellist of the Orchestre National Montpellier, dialogues with that of the soprano Hwanyoo Lee, in this abundant and eclectic program, rich in emotion.

That's unfortunate: If you blow into a saxophone, it immediately sounds like jazz. But in 1840 Adolphe Sax actually only wanted to close the tonal gap between the oboe and the clarinet in the orchestra with his glittering reed instrument. Today, many saxophonists are working hard on their return to classical music - in the case of the Signum Saxophone Quartet, primarily with the help of their own arrangements. Since the four saxophonists repeatedly emphasize how much they have learned from the strings of the Artemis Quartet, we can look forward to their blown version of Dvořák's American string quartet. Erwin Schulhoff, who felt close to Dada, Communism and jazz, was very fond of the saxophone, and so the arrangement of his string pieces op. 14 is just as fitting as the tonal re-dedication of Ástor Piazzolla's Suite del Ángel . After all, Piazzolla is about angels dancing tango. And about an angel who dies (in the final movement, La Muerte del Ángel) – after a fugue, of all things…

The programme will open with Wagner’s romantic Prelude & Liebestod from Tristan & Isolde and in the second half there will be music from Bizet’s much-loved Carmen Suite, Tchaikovsky’s lyrical Swan Lake suite and the programme will end with two dazzling, scintillating show stoppers from two of Argentina’s greatest composers - Alberto Ginastera and Astor Piazzolla.
