He has film music as much in his veins as operetta and musicals: the American conductor Joseph R. Olefirowicz. Like the Munich Radio Orchestra, he also works in a wide variety of musical styles and is a master of perfect entertainment. This dream team will be presenting itself twice at the Rheingau Music Festival: The opening performance will feature the biggest hits of video game music in rich orchestral sound. On the second evening, the musical journey will take them to London's West End – with melodies from hit productions such as "Cats" and "The Lion King."

The message is clear: Peace is better than war. Welshman Karl Jenkins arrives at this timeless and cross-cultural insight in his 2000 anti-war oratorio, a musical journey through moments of war and destruction. He touches on the eponymous medieval folk song about the "armed man," lets Christian, Muslim, and Far Eastern voices speak, and articulates the hope for a world at peace.
