NOSPR in Chamber Mode / Berg & Strauss (postponed) - NOSPR

New date of the concert: 25 June 2023. Tickets remain valid. 

Viennese classics come in threes. In the twentieth century, Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven were succeeded by the revolutionary innovator expressionist Arnold Schönberg and his two students, Alban Berg and Anton Webern. It is mainly to the last of them that all three owe a reputation of cold and unapproachable – after all, his fellow’s Chamber Concerto for piano and violin with 13 wind instruments is steaming with emotion!
The gentlemen were pillars of a closed Society for Private Musical Performances, which associated outstanding musicians and composers. In light of the raging inflation which came after the First World War, a need arose, however, to collect money for further activity. That was how the delightful and sophisticated chamber arrangements of Johann Strauss’ (son) waltzes – a less known area of modernist classics’ activity – came to be.
