The Sounds of Air

The spring wind rustles in the trees, sings merrily in birdsong, chases the clouds away, turns somersaults, fills the fields and meadows with sound... This concert will be filled with music conjured up by wind instruments: the singing flute, the mysterious clarinet, the lyrical oboe, the playful bassoon, the gentle horn and energetic percussion. We’ll blow notes, dance in rhythms, visit the court of a Chinese empress and listen to raindrops falling. Who is curious to know whether the sounds of the air are light as a feather or heavy as a storm? Who wants to find out how to conjure music from the air and look for spring in it?

Kammerkonzert 2

Leicht und frisch wie die klassische Serenade: Samuel Barber, Jean Françaix und Paul Hindemith stehen für eine spielfreudige, witzige und doch modern gewürzte Variante einer "Neoklassik" des 20. Jahrhunderts. Den drei farbenfrohen Bläserwerken gegenüber steht ein Besetzungsexperiment des Beethoven-Zeitgenossen Louis Spohr: Sein Opus 87 lässt zwei Streichquartette konzertant gegeneinander antreten und dialogisieren - als seltener Sonderfall im Kammermusikrepertoire.
