Created during two pandemic-dominated years of isolation, this program, starting with Haydn's piece "Jacob’s Dream," presents individual pieces from music history. It sheds light on the fascinating personal and compositional connections between the various composers, leading up to contemporary composer Konstantia Gourzi, who was born on the same day as Joseph Haydn.

A new CD featuring this program, in collaboration with German conductor and pianist Christoph Ulrich Meier, was released on September 15, 2023, by the American label Odradek Records.

Review

Beethoven’s Bonn Circle

description

This program explores the fascinating network of young, talented musicians who were part of the prestigious Bonn Court Orchestra at the end of the 18th century—among them, a young Ludwig van Beethoven as a violist.

The French occupation in 1794 led to the dissolution of the ensemble and scattered its members across Europe. The program shines a spotlight on this extraordinary generation of composers - Andreas and Bernhard Romberg, Anton Reicha, Franz Anton Ries, and his son Ferdinand Ries - who shaped musical life from Vienna to Paris, London, and St. Petersburg. Their paths intertwined with that of Joseph Haydn, who played a key role in Beethoven’s move to Vienna. Against the backdrop of political upheaval and the Napoleonic Wars, this concert tells the story of artistic friendships, migrations, and musical brilliance in a changing Europe.

The journey from Viennese Classicism to Neoclassicism is elegantly concluded with a film score by Alfred Schnittke.

when music becomes home…

description

Survival and downfall, love and betrayal, winners and losers: in times of oppression and persecution, many musicians leave their homeland and never return. Their fight for life and recognition is also a fight for their music. It is the only thing they have left. It becomes their home, to each in it´s own way.

Johannes Fleischmann, Justus Zeyen and Benno Ure use music and texts to take us back to the first half of the twentieth century, to times of exile. In the smallest format of chamber music - violin and piano - they present the fascinations and trends of the most diverse period in music history. The presentation places the works in the context of their time and gives their creators a face.

The result is a special interplay, a concert full of discoveries and touching fates: a tribute to great musicians and their music.

Beyond Familiar Paths

Description

It’s about living beyond familiar boundaries, about creativity in times of change, and about music on a journey.

Marches are composed in the Orient, piano melodies echo from the savannah, and a piece of music accompanies its creator through years of exile. What drives a composer to send his music into a world war, and how did an aluminum piano sound on a Zeppelin’s maiden voyage?

These imaginative works transport us to distant worlds. Some journeys are purely fictional, yet became major hits.

This program invites you to travel through music, discovering stories filled with surprises, tension, and the profound drama that life unfolds.
