About the Concert

Tickets for these and other events will go on sale on 21 JUNE, as will election tickets for the coming season.

Probably every musical nation has a few composers who are unjustly overshadowed by their great compatriots. Bohuslav Martinu is definitely one of the best, but least known Czech composers. His string sextet impresses with its great emotionality and can be heard in our chamber concert with six musicians from the Dresden Philharmonic. Tchaikovsky's "Remembrance of Florence", on the other hand, is one of his most popular chamber music works - no wonder, since it perfectly expresses the most beautiful memories of a stay in Italy. He had fled to Florence to escape his wife, who I blackmailed him because of his homosexuality. There he finally managed to complete his opera "Pique dame". His string sextet tells of these moments of happiness and a carefree time...
