Das andere Konzert

We will also experience a different sort of concert this season, a spirited, witty conversation about music in the form of a debate. What will the uncle and nephew talk about when Schubert’s Overture to the Magic Harp and Bartók’s Suite from The Miraculous Mandarin are on the program? How incidental music for a melodrama compares to a pantomime ballet, and how the latter compares to the orchestral suite? Learn by experiencing emotion: The fruitful argument between the two protagonists guarantees playful and informative insight into the music studios of the great composers. Thomas Reichert is in charge of staging, while scenes and dialogue are in the capable hands of puppeteer Christoph Widauer. Conductors Ádám Fischer and Ivor Bolton, as well as the pianist-conductor Alexander Lonquich supervise music-making of the highest order.
