An intimate evening of chamber and orchestral warmth exploring Brahms’s Serenade alongside Mozart’s flute quartet and Berwald’s Grand Septette. The program traces a lyric arc from crystalline chamber textures to rich, romantic orchestration, highlighting interplay between winds and strings and a refined sense of phrasing. Audiences are invited into a graceful sound world where poised elegance meets emotional depth, balanced by careful pacing and buoyant lyricism.
Violinist Alexandra Conunova and pianist Christian Zacharias present an intimate recital exploring works by Mozart and Bach. The programme pairs Mozart’s violin sonatas KV 301, KV 377 and KV 454 with Bach’s Partita No.3 BWV 1006 and Suite française No.1 BWV 812, contrasting classical clarity with baroque vitality. Conunova’s lyrical tone and nimble articulation meet Zacharias’s refined phrasing and harmonic color, creating a contemplative yet radiant evening that highlights conversation between instruments and the timeless eloquence of these masterworks.
Maurice Steger, Avi Avital and Sebastian Wienand join forces in a programme of Baroque and early-classical repertoire. With Steger’s virtuoso recorder, Avital’s luminous mandolin and Wienand’s sparkling harpsichord, they present works by Vivaldi, Bach, Scarlatti, Mancini and Soler. The trio combines refined technique and expressive warmth, alternating lively dance movements and lyrical slow airs to deliver an intimate yet radiant chamber-music experience.
Cuivres en Liberté presents a brass quintet exploring a vivid program of transcriptions and original arrangements by Leonard Bernstein, Dmitri Shostakovich, Øystein Baadsvik, Giuseppe Verdi and John Williams.

Performed by pianist Angela Yixuan Miao and conducted by Sergey Ostrovsky, this classical programme juxtaposes works by Béla Bartók, W. A. Mozart and Frédéric Chopin in a vivid, dramatic arc.
