Someone actually pooped on the little mole's head—what a nerve! Who did it? The mole wants to find out, so he sets out to search for it among the other animals. A musical search for clues of a special kind!

3. Cushion Concert: "The Little Mole Who Wanted to Know Who Pooped on His Head"

"My Neighbor Totoro," "Spirited Away," "Howl's Moving Castle"—these Studio Ghibli classics are now well-known and beloved here too. In this concert, we'll take you on a journey into the fantastic sound and visual worlds of the most popular Japanese anime films, performed with a full orchestra!

Music is it!: »Anime Classics«

The title is not misleading – Anton Webern's "Im Sommerwind" (In the Summer Wind) from 1904 is indeed an unclouded orchestral idyll, still firmly in the tradition of Liszt, Wagner, and Strauss. Almost nothing betrays the future avant-garde artist – except perhaps the 20-year-old's already perceptible sensitivity for the finest sound blends. The germ of Mahler's Second Symphony was also a one-movement symphonic poem. It was initially titled "Totenfeier" (Funeral Celebration). This ultimately evolved into the five-movement "Resurrection Symphony," which transcends all boundaries in every respect. The finale, based on the chorale "Aufersteh'n, ja aufersteh'n wirst Du" (Resurrection, yes you will rise), features a huge orchestra, an equally large choir, and two vocal soloists, unfolding with poignant power.
