Those who seek authenticity when travelling can easily be misled: Richard Strauss was one of them when he thought he had heard an original Neapolitan folk song in Naples and incorporated it into his symphonic fantasy "Aus Italien". In fact, "Funiculì, funiculà" had been composed by Luigi Denza just a few years earlier, and in a less than popular context at that - as an advertisement for the new cable car up Vesuvius. Strauss' trip to Italy nevertheless represented a turning point in his work: "Aus Italien" brilliantly opens the series of tone poems with which he became famous.

The conductor and composer Anna Skryleva begins the youth concert with one of her own compositions and will give the young listeners an insight into the creation of a composition. Richard Strauss was inspired by a journey in his first tone poem. His music first takes the audience to Campania, describes the dignified ruins of the Eternal City of Rome, takes a short break on the beach in Sorrento and finally ends in the lively city life of Naples.
