Introduction to the concert program:
Music from other times and worlds

The first part of the concert focuses on the elegant world of the 17th century with music from the French court of Louis XIV. The Airs de Cour were the pop songs of the time and their delicate, catchy melodies had earworm qualities for many aristocrats of the time.
The second part of the concert is dedicated to the revolutionary music of the early 20th century. On the occasion of Arnold Schönberg's 150th anniversary, "Entrückung", from his String Quartet No. 2, Op. 10, takes you into a new, fascinating world of sound.
To conclude, you will hear a scene from Alban Berg's opera "Lulu", a masterpiece of the 20th century that illuminates human existence in all its facets.
Enjoy a musical journey through time and space with us!
