# The Great Clarinet Quintet

After the completion of the Op. 111 string quintet, Johannes Brahms decided to end his career as a composer.

The piece is inspired by Hungarian folk tunes and still commands the title for the most beautiful and versatile composition of its genre. Enjoy hearing this masterpiece by 5 commanding musicians: Anthony McGill, the principal clarinet of the New York Philharmonic, violinists Gil Shaham and Adele Anthony, Colin Jacobsen, viola and Eric Jacobsen, cello.

The Dresden Festival Orchestra’s Christmas concert takes listeners on a journey to the fascinating baroque era.

Hasse was court kapellmeister for 30 years in Dresden, having studied previously with the legendary Porpora in Naples. Pisendel, the court orchestra’s celebrated concertmaster, on the other hand, was a close friend of Vivaldi, who dedicated some of his works to him. The soloist on this festive occasion is cellist Jan Vogler, who joins the orchestra, which plays on historical instruments, and its concertmaster Chouchane Siranossian in inviting you to a splendid feast for the ears.

In this program you will encounter a different Niccolò Paganini, the composer who became notorious for his super virtuosic pieces, the more human, the more romantic composer. These pieces, written for this very unique instrumentation, were never meant to be performed in a grand concert hall. They were composed for intimate private parties and weddings. The Serenata was written for the wedding of his sister Domenica in 1808, the manuscript includes a small movement, Polacca, written by Niccolòs' granddaughter Nicola Paganini. The Terzetto Concertante was written in 1833, in an era that is actually very parallel to ours right now: the era of the 2nd wave of the cholera pandemic. Paganini performed numerous benefit concerts for the cholera victims and their families. The concert will be performed on historical instrumentation, including an original Guadagnini guitar and an Italian viola made in Brescia in 1820.

*Örzse Adam – Viola, Artistic Leader, playing an Italian viola made in Brescia in 1820*
*Izhar Elias – Classical Guitar, playing an original Guadagnini guitar*
*Balázs Máté - Violoncello, playing a Tecchler cello from the late 1700s*

Program
- Nicola Paganini (1782-1840): Polacca for - viola, violoncello and guitar
- Niccolò Paganini (1782-1840): Serenata in C for viola, violoncello, guitar and Terzetto Concertant for viola, violoncello, guitar

A belated birthday celebration: The complete sonatas for Cello and Piano

Hearing the five sonatas for cello and piano is perhaps one of the best ways to appreciate Ludwig van Beethoven's unique evolution as a composer. Divided neatly across his three creative periods, from the youthful sonatas op. 5 that smash the Mozartean mould, through the sublimely tender op. 69 of his middle period, and finally to the visionary, unconventional sonatas op. 102 of his final years, this small marathon will give you an intimate biography of this endlessly adventurous creator.

The concert will be broadcast live from the Chamber Music Hall of the Beethovenhaus in Bonn, the composer's birthplace. Not only is the hall renowned for its optimal acoustics, but literally beneath its stage is one of the most important archives of Beethoven's manuscripts - sacred ground for any music-lover!

Cellist Jonathan Weigle is solo cello of the Cologne Chamber Orchestra, and is regularly invited to lead some of Europe's finest orchestras. Pianist Ben Cruchley is the laureate of numerous piano competitions, including the Telekom Beethoven Competition in Bonn. Chamber music partners just since this summer, they have already performed feverishly across Germany, earning accolades for their work:

"From the start, their playing won over the public with the wonderful way they shaped every note together… a high-class evening of chamber music."
