The Nutcracker

It’s Christmas Eve. Marie and Fritz Stahlbaum are excited. They are celebrating and dancing. Marie’s eyes light up when her godfather gives her a nutcracker, which she immediately takes to her heart. Fritz is delighted to receive a new squadron of hussars for his toy army, which he has been longing for. But during the night, the toys come to life, big, fat mice scurry through the room and with a rumble, the Christmas tree begins to grow and the nutcracker also comes to life. Together with him, Marie enters the land of sweets and a journey into wondrous worlds begins.

THE NECKS

Over the course of 37 years, The Necks have released 18 albums of music that defies description: not entirely avant-garde, nor minimalist, nor ambient, nor jazz, and yet all of these, and more. The band’s extended improvisations, frequently underpinned by an insistent groove, have a deceptive simplicity that masks the music’s deep layers, leading the Los Angeles Times to call the group “a magic act masquerading as a piano trio.” The Necks make their Pierre Boulez Saal debut with a career-spanning program of classics and recent pieces.
