mit Kian Soltani

‘There is still no music that is closer to my heart than Schubert's,’ says Joana Mallwitz. This composer and his works were the ‘initial spark’ for her to become a conductor.


‘I'm really looking forward to conducting Schubert's “Great” in C major not in front of cameras and an empty hall, as I did in 2020 when I made my debut with the Konzerthausorchester due to the coronavirus, but in front of an audience. I think it's one of the best pieces ever,’ says our chief conductor.

Before that, cello soloist Kian Soltani will delight you with Tchaikovsky's longing look back at the musical world of Mozart, who gave his guild the charming ‘Rococo Variations’.

The programme opens with ‘D'un matin de printemps’, one of only six chamber music works that belong to the oeuvre of Lili Boulanger, who was awarded the Prix de Rome in 1913.
It was composed in 1918 a few weeks before she died of tuberculosis at the age of 24 and is an impressionistic portrayal of a spring morning.
