fauré quartet
femmes formidables
Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel I Piano Quartet A flat major
Dora Pejačević I Piano Quartet D minor op. 25
Mel Bonis I Piano Quartet No. 1 B flat major op. 69The obstacles with which these female composers had to struggle throughout their lives can be seen in sayings and quotations that need no further comment. For example, Camille Saint-Saëns wrote after hearing Mel Bonis’ music: “I would never have believed that a woman was capable of writing something like this. She knows all the tricks of our trade”. Abraham Mendelssohn, father of Fanny Hensel and Felix Mendelssohn, wrote to his daughter: “Music may become a profession for him, while for you it can and should only ever become an ornament, never the fundamental bass of your being and doing.” It is fortunate that Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel, Dora Pejačević and Mel Bonis were not dissuaded from composing by these statements: Their piano quartets prove that their music is far more than “ornament” or a copy of the work of their male contemporaries.

Mozart I Sonata for Piano and Violin KV 377 combined with
Lutosławski I Partita for Violin and Piano
Clara Schumann I Three Romances for Violin and Piano op.22
Dietrich/ R. Schumann/ Brahms I F.A.E. SonataHow do artistic projects come about? What happens when there is not only the lonely genius writing for himself, but something is created as a collective? This is what happened in the F.A.E. Sonata, for example, in which a group of young creative people at the time dealt with a theme: the concept of freedom, a new attitude to life that was reflected not only in personal development but also in artistic expression. These concepts are still relevant today: Herbert Schuch and Tobias Feldmann attempt to make the artistic concept of freedom tangible in the first part of the concert as well, in which two completely different works are intertwined and interwoven: Mozart’s remarkable Violin Sonata KV 377 with Lutosławski’s Partita, in which free moments were also repeatedly incorporated by the composer, in which both musicians can improvise “freely but not lonely” next to and with each other.

viola latina! living baroque
“Viola as you have never heard it before”: With their programme “Viola Latina! Living Baroque”, Nils Mönkemeyer, Rubén Dubrovsky and members of the Bach Consort Wien explore the music of Latin America and present a unique blend of folk rhythms and baroque harmonies that can only be found in this part of the world.
With viola, Latin American and baroque instruments, Nils Mönkemeyer, Rubén Dubrovsky, Mónica Pustilnik, Sebastián Sciaraffia and Martín Bruhn take the audience on their exploration of a musically highly exciting continent – from Argentina to Cuba.
