String quartets thrive on the homogeneity of the ensemble gained through long collaboration. Larger ensembles, on the other hand, usually benefit from the confrontation of strong individuals whose temperaments can unfold particularly vividly within a carefully crafted reading. When seven outstanding young soloists now gather around violinist Veronika Eberle to perform Franz Schubert's magnificent Octet, it is precisely this potentiation of creative energy that can be expected. The octet by the young composer Gregor Mayrhofer is far more concise than Schubert's work, with which he famously wanted to "pave the way to the great symphony" in 1824 - a poetic and confident new edition of the mixed eight of strings and winds.
This will be followed by an artist talk with Anselm Cybinski in the Festival Center.
