Mu­se­ums­kon­zert VII

Kam­mer­kon­zert VII

For more than six decades, the chamber concerts by musicians from the Staatskapelle have been a constant feature of the Staatsoper programme. This season, ensembles have come together to select music from different periods, styles and cultures under the theme of ‘playing together’. On eleven dates in the Apollosaal, which with its special atmosphere is an ideal venue for chamber music and communicative interaction between players and listeners, works from the Baroque to the present day will be performed in constellations that are both exciting and harmonious, in which tangible contrasts play just as important a role as a common resonance and the balancing of opposites.

Abon­ne­ment­kon­zert VII

In music, light and shadow can be distributed in a special way. The two outer works are characterized by brightness and luminosity, both Anton Webern's tone poem Im Sommerwind from 1904, which has outgrown the late Romantic tradition to which the later twelve-tone composer was committed at the beginning of his career, and Antonín Dvořák's 6th Symphony from 1880, which reveals Brahms as a role model, but gains its own character with its sounds borrowed from Bohemian folklore. Mozart's Piano Concerto in D minor, a work with a strikingly darker timbre, is placed in between and shows the “serious Mozart” who, for all his cosmopolitanism and joy of playing, also reveals many an abyss.
