20.30 Bruce Springsteen

Born in The USA –medley
Darkness on the Edge of Town 

A great start to the evening with a sample of the tribute concert Gbg <3 Bruce that will take place in spring. Two legendary hits arranged for string quartet by Martin Schaub and Samuel Runsteen.

20.45: Johan Strauss II (1825-1899)

Wein, Weib und Gesang (transkr. Berg) 

A quick jump takes us back to the happy days of the Viennese Waltz in a piece by the waltz king Johann Strauss the Younger.

21.15: Caroline Shaw (f. 1982)

Allemande from Partita 

Our fantastic vocal ensemble takes over and sings newly written choral music. American Caroline Shaw is one of the hottest young composers right now.

21.35: Luciano Berio (1925-2003)

Sequenza XIV for double bass 

In this Italian piece, we hear the expressive double bass shine with Markus Lang as soloist.

22.00: Maurice Guis

Sicilienne

Pierre Guis (b 1974)

Nocturne

Francis-Paul Demillac (1927-2014)

Petite suite provençale 

Beautiful French folk music with flute and drum, and a piece written by our own violinist Pierre Guis.

22.20: Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel (1805-1847)

From String Quartet E-flat Major
– Adagio ma non troppo 
– Allegro molto 

An example of early romanticism at its best. Fanny Mendelssohn was one of the most prolific composers of the 19th century, and like her brother Felix, she died far too young.

Very popular
