7th Phil­har­mo­nic Con­cert

Jörg Widmann is not only one of the most-performed composers of our times; he is also at home in the concert halls of the world in his capacity as a virtuoso clarinetist. As both player and composer he now joins the Staatsphilharmonie in a homage to two German composers of the Romantic period whom he holds in highest esteem: Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, with a sonata and the lyrical religiosity of his “Reformation” Symphony, and Ludwig van Beethoven, to whom Widmann pays tribute in his short orchestral piece “Con brio”.
