A guest at the Casals Forum

Ein außergewöhnliches Konzert „GLANZ & GLORIA“

An evening full of energy, brilliance, and great musical storytelling:

The concert opens with the fiery overture to Ruslan and Ludmilla, in a whirlwind of passion and virtuosity. Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor then leads us straight into a world of grand Romantic emotions — powerful, passionate, and deeply moving.

After the interval, British elegance takes centre stage in Edward Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance. Two striking contemporary works transport us into new sound worlds: Stefan Hippe’s Krakatao fascinates with eruptive energy, while Fritz Dobler’s Werziade IV surprises with wit and colour.

A feast for the ear and the heart — pulsating, colourful, and full of emotion.
