Eleven Past Eleven: Welcome to the "Gezeitenkonzerte" Festival feat. "Peak Performers"

Kalevi Aho (*1949): Bläserquintett Nr. 1 für Flöte, Oboe, Klarinette, Fagott und Horn (2006)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791): Fantasie d-Moll für Klavier solo KV 397
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809–1847): Variations sérieuses d-Moll für Klavier solo op. 54
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827): Quintett Es-Dur für Klavier, Oboe, Klarinette, Fagott und Horn op. 16

A festival greeting from the North Sea to the Elbe River. Since 2012, Matthias Kirschnereit, professor in Rostock and President of Hamburg's Brahms Society, has been the artistic director of the "Gezeitenkonzerte" (High Tide Concerts) in East Frisland. As most years, Oliver Wille has extended an invitation to another European chamber music hot spot. Echo Klassik prize-winner Kirschnereit and his young "Peak Performers" happily agreed to participate in our Mozart year, especially seeing as how Kirschnereit has been celebrated for the "buoyant liveliness" of his solo performances of Mozart's piano concertos or, recently, for his recordings of all of Haydn's concertos.

Six Past Six: Mozart Party Marathon with works by Mozart, Schubert, Grieg, Schönfeldinger, Webern, Dvořák, Knox, Haydn, Debussy, Rachmaninow, Glass ...

Mozart, a godsend! And a bunch of Festival musicians are having a party for the Salzburg genius's divine music and its influence on ensuant generations. Piano quintet movements by Mozart and Anton Webern join up, unusual instruments pry open new sound frontiers, rarities and big hits collaborate. We ask the audience to contribute short amusing texts by, to or about Mozart. A selection of them will serve as counterpoints within the program. When the first stage of the marathon ends at 7:30 p.m. there will be plenty of time to enjoy the Viennese buffet created by the VERDO restaurant especially for this event. The second stage of the marathon continues at 9:00 p.m. The buffet is not included in the admission price.
