Date & Time

One is a multi-talent - tenor, presenter, director, author, and tireless ambassador of music. The other is a connoisseur of subtle tones. Both are top stars. Their intimate duo program combines arrangements of traditional folk music from Villazón's South American homeland and songs by composers from there. Villazón's expressive voice and de Maistre's brilliant harp playing make this extraordinary evening full of temperament and melancholy.

François-Xavier Roth | Mozart

Sat, Oct 3, 2020, 18:00
François-Xavier Roth (Conductor), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks
Following his successful début with the BRSO last year, François-Xavier Roth has again been invited to Munich to conduct two concerts outside the regular season. The concerts will begin and end with towering masterpieces from Mozart’s symphonic output: the majestic Symphony in E flat major (K 543) and his final contribution to the genre, the radiant “Jupiter” Symphony (K 551). As a counterpoint to Mozart’s classical ideal, they will frame a mesmerizing gossamer creation by Anton Webern: his terse Concerto for Nine Instruments op. 24 (1934), a work lasting no more than a few minutes. Composed strictly according to the 12-tone method, its three movements project quite different moods, from flickering whimsy to wan pallor to a jaunty march.

Sat, Mar 29, 2025, 17:00
Ruby Hughes (Soprano), Manchester Collective (Streichquartett)
Soprano Ruby Hughes commented on her program "End of My Days," created with the Manchester Collective during the first COVID-19 lockdown: "Music always has the potential to speak to us, to comfort us, and to help us feel understood." The program's songs by John Dowland, Claude Debussy, Gustav Mahler, and other composers, including contemporary ones, empathetically explore themes of love, loss, and separation. Mahler's "Urlicht" conveys the confidence that we will return to where we came from when we enter eternity. The title song by Errollyn Wallen embraces death and celebrates life.
