Project

 

Description

This project is intended to save works that initially enjoyed huge popularity but are barely performed today from being forgotten. Moreover, connections will be drawn between the compositions and the life circumstances of their composers. The orchestra will present works by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Arnold Schönberg, Kurt Weill and George Gershwin, placing them in their respective contexts.

in German:
Mit diesem Projekt sollen Werke, die zur Entstehungszeit zwar äußerst populär waren, heute aber kaum gespielt werden, der Vergessenheit entrissen werden. Zudem werden Zusammenhänge zwischen Kompositionen und Lebensumstände ihrer jeweiligen Verfasser hergestellt. Das Orchester präsentiert Werke von Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Arnold Schönberg, Kurt Weill und George Gershwin und stellt diese in Kontext dazu.
