Deutsches Theater München is staging a production of the Munich Chamber Opera
This event is in the past.
Virtuoso music for wind instruments and piano
What was it like on the streets of Paris in the 1950s? And what does it actually mean to be musically stung by a tarantula? The wind quintet of the Munich Chamber Opera answers questions like these – and not just musically. This cheerful and virtuoso concert evening focuses on milestones from the repertoire for winds and piano, from trio to sextet.
The musicians of the Chamber Opera will be accompanied by pianist Aris Alexander Blettenberg, first prize winner of the Vienna International Beethoven Piano Competition. Young and experienced audiences alike can find a new and unique approach to the music, which is presented with explanations and sound examples from the pieces on offer. Surprises and discoveries are guaranteed on this evening in the Silbersaal.
