Iván Fischer

Tabea Zimmermann

Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra

Join us for an extraordinary musical experience as Iván Fischer and Tabea Zimmermann grace the stage with the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks for two unforgettable evenings. These performances will take place at the Munich Gasteig HP8, Isarphilharmonie, on Thursday, December 15, and Friday, December 16, 2022, both starting at 8:00 pm. This event is part of the Subscription A series.

The program for the evening includes a rich selection of classical music, starting with Richard Strauss's "Der Rosenkavalier TrV 227, op. 59 Walzerfolge No. 2," followed by William Walton's "Concerto for viola and orchestra." After an interval, the concert will conclude with Béla Bartók's "Concerto for Orchestra, Sz 116." These pieces showcase the versatility and depth of the viola, brought to life under the skilled hands of Tabea Zimmermann, the BRSO’s artist-in-residence for the season. Zimmermann will present a series of special concertos for the viola, including the rarely heard Walton Viola Concerto, a challenging piece that promises to highlight her exceptional talent. Iván Fischer, a seasoned Bartók specialist, will conduct the orchestra, ensuring an evening of captivating musical excellence.

This season's highlight is the performance of William Walton's Viola Concerto, a piece composed in 1928-29 and initially intended for Lionel Tertis. However, due to its demanding nature, the premiere was performed by Paul Hindemith. This concert offers a unique opportunity to experience one of the supreme violists of our time, Tabea Zimmermann, as she interprets this complex composition, providing an exciting contrast to Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra.

Don't miss this exceptional blend of talent and music at the Munich Gasteig HP8, Isarphilharmonie. Tickets are available online, and further details can be found on the event's official website. Join us for a night of unforgettable musical journeys with Iván Fischer, Tabea Zimmermann, and the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks.
