Autumn Concert

About this place

The concert programme is devoted to the colours of autumn – between the mood of nature, transience and romantic longing. Works by Felix Mendelssohn, Fanny Hensel, Johannes Brahms, Anton Bruckner, Carl Loewe, as well as Clara and Robert Schumann, unfold a multi-layered musical panorama. The personal connections between the composers are particularly fascinating: the siblings Fanny Hensel and Felix Mendelssohn shared an exceptionally close musical relationship. Both inspired each other and together shaped the romantic song and choral culture of their time. With Fanny Hensel’s “Im Herbste”, you discover a composer who was long underestimated. Johannes Brahms was also closely connected to Clara and Robert Schumann. Admiration became a lifelong artistic and personal friendship. With Carl Loewe’s “Gesang der Geister”, choir, soloist and pianist join together in a dramatic soundscape of mysterious beauty. Between a cappella choral works and selected songs for solo soprano and piano, the evening becomes an atmospheric concert full of warmth, melancholy and intensity, bringing the romantic longing for nature and inwardness to life and inviting the audience to experience the magic of autumn in all its colours.
