Schubert’s “Unfinished” with Joana Mallwitz and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra

Joana Mallwitz has had a meteoric career: after leading positions in Erfurt and Nuremberg, she will take over the Konzerthausorchester Berlin in 2023. Her love of Franz Schubert’s music, especially his “Unfinished”, played a major role in her decision to become a conductor. What fascinates her about Schubert? “With him, actually everything became a song.” Her appearance with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra is all about song – not only because Schubert’s “Unfinished” and his Fourth Symphony with their stirring melodies will be heard. Britten’s Serenade for tenor, horn and strings is also full of vocal sensitivity.
