Concert information
Info
Antoine Tamestit captivates with his dark, warm viola tone and musical storytelling. Together with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, he presents a programme full of emotional depth and striking contrasts: alongside excerpts from The Art of Fugue and chorales by Johann Sebastian Bach, Paul Hindemith’s poignant Trauermusik for viola and orchestra is performed – a musical tribute to the English King George V. In Alfred Schnittke’s expressive Monologue, the viola appears fragile, searching, and doubtful. Dmitri Shostakovich’s heartfelt Chamber Symphony mourns the victims of war and fascism.
