Watch This Space | Alisa Weilerstein & friends

Date & Time
Wed, Jun 4, 2025, 19:00
Consummately skilled, emotionally invested, and of rare interpretive depth – these are just a few of Alisa Weilerstein’s qualities. The American is one of the foremost cellists of her time. “Weilerstein is a throwback to an earlier age of classical performers: not content merely to serve as a vessel for the composer’s wishes, she inhabits a piece fully and turns it to her own ends,” marvelled The New York Times. And the Los Angeles Times added: “Weilerstein’s cello is her... Read full text

Watch This Space | Kaleidoskop

Sat, May 28, 2022, 19:00
TonHalle München (München)
Academy of the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Natalie Schwaabe (Flute)
The Academy has chosen compositions that demand quite special ways of approaching their instruments. Stephen Montague, in Thule Ultima, has the wind quintet play mainly on their mouthpieces, like a concert of exotic birds. George Crumb likewise calls for special timbres in his string quartet Black Angels: written to commemorate the victims of the Vietnam War, this pacifist composer asks the strings to play a quotation from Schubert’s Death and the Maiden using the wood of their bows (col legno), producing a bleak, oppressive tone. Ligeti’s Six Bagatelles, written shortly after his emigration from Hungary, reflect his immersion in Western culture. Ravel wrote Le Tombeau de Couperin as funeral music for the great French claveciniste. The movements originated during the First World War, and Ravel soon dedicated each one to a fallen French soldier from his circle of friends – a musical memorial spanning the centuries. His Sonata for Violin and Violoncello is likewise a funeral piece for a deceased composer, Claude Debussy.

TonHalle München (München)
Tobias Reifland (Viola), Anja Kreynacke (Viola), Giovanni Menna (Viola), German Tcakulov (Viola), Klaus-Peter Werani (Viola)
Spotlight on the viola(s)! The composer and viola player Klaus-Peter Werani has assembled an all-viola programme with his BRSO colleagues Tobias Reifland, Anja Kreynacke, Giovanni Menna and German Tcakulov. It consists entirely of works from the modern era to the present day, all devoted to the deep and rich tone of the viola in combinations ranging from duo to string quintet. Founded during the covid pandemic, Watch This Space has evolved into a chamber music series that focuses not only on the new performance arena in Munich’s Werksviertel-Mitte district, but also on rarely heard works in smaller formats.
