Bochum's Musical Odyssey: A Journey through Sound and Soul

Bochumer Symphoniker

At the age of 22, Richard Strauss traveled to Rome and Naples. He subsequently captured his impressions in a composition: "From Italy." He called this work a "symphonic fantasy"—it is no longer a symphony (despite its four movements), but it is not yet a symphonic poem either. The third movement, "On the Beach of Sorrento," unfolds a fascinating, almost impressionistic soundscape, unusual for Strauss. The composer spoke of a "mood picture," an interweaving of natural sounds (wind, water, birdcalls) with his own feelings.

Everything's so quiet here... No one to be seen. Or is there someone there after all? Five large packages are waiting in this concert to reveal their contents, or rather, their inhabitants. What begins with a single, small note quickly develops into a sonorous and dance-like friendship between Bach and Balkan sounds.

For many, the highlight of the season: The traditional BoSy season-ending concert on the Impulsbühne at KAP, right in the heart of Bermuda3Eck!
