The swan in carnival - Schedule, Program & Tickets

We owe some of his most beautiful compositions to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's friendship with the clarinettist Anton Stadler, such as the five divertimenti for three basset horns, which fascinate with the warmth and darkness of their tonal colouration. Krzysztof Penderecki also looks for unusual timbres in his clarinet quartet and the capricious, virtuoso duo for violin and double bass. “Is the swan coming now?” is the central question in Camille Saint-Saëns’ “Carnival of the Animals”. He comes! Gracefully and majestically embodied by the singing of the cello.
