Chamber Concert

Sat, Mar 19, 2022, 20:00
Max Joseph Saal (München)
Julie Catherine Eggli (Mezzo-Soprano), Münchner Streichquartett, Stephan Hoever (Violin), Korbinian Altenberger (Violin), Mathias Schessl (Viola), Jan Mischlich (Cello)
“Sorrow always – upward glance – celestial dew – recollection”: thus the words that Anton Webern set in his aphoristically short work for soprano and string quartet. They also stand as a motto for this unusual and cleverly assembled programme. The works in the first section come from completely different eras and interlock like meditations – devout, contemplative, ravishingly beautiful, yet pervaded by a “sweet” tone of sorrow. Schubert’s G major Quartet also directs its gaze into unknown dimensions. Few works of chamber music sustain the combination of sorrow and supplication with such existential force and urgency as this unique visionary creation from the year 1826.

Chamber Concert

Sat, May 11, 2024, 20:00
Max Joseph Saal (München)
Serafina Starke (Soprano), Korbinian Altenberger (Violin), Lorenz Chen (Violin), Benedict Hames (Viola), Jaka Stadler (Cello)
For a musician, the fugue is inextricably linked with Bach, who raised the fugue to dizzying stylistic heights. The Latin fuga means “flight” – in other words, a theme “flees” from one voice to another and is repeated at different pitches. One of the most vital, long-lasting, and eternally modern musical forms of the past and present can be experienced in this chamber concert: starting with Mozart, who savored all the techniques he discovered in Bach, continuing with Beethoven, who replaced what contemporary critics considered the incomprehensible fugue of the last movement of his Quartet op. 130 with a more accessible finale, and finally ending with Widmann, in whose work soprano Serafina Starke runs away from the fugue – or is it the other way around?
