Sound Bath with Precision and Drive
Piano for eight hands sounds like a state of emergency, and that is exactly what makes the appeal of this evening. Two instruments, four musicians, finely tuned synchronization: When Beethoven, Smetana, Rachmaninoff, Dorothee Eberhardt, and Dimitri Tchesnokov meet in this dramaturgy, a dense space of rhythm, color, and energy emerges. The instrumentation brings orchestral force into the hall while simultaneously offering the delicate control that good chamber music electrifies.

Romance Meets Modernity
The program spans a wide arc from the Romantic era to the present. Among other works, Beethoven's Fidelio overture, Smetana's eight-handed Rondo in C major, and the late Romantic Gurre Songs in adaptations by Anton Webern and Lorenz Trottmann will be performed. Additionally, contemporary works will open the evening to the present time. This mixture gives the concert depth, contrast, and a clear musical dramaturgy.

Michael Herrschel Guides Through the Story of Summer Breeze
Michael Herrschel connects music with recitation and adds a narrative layer to the finale. Especially in the interplay of sound and word, a special live atmosphere is created: not just a classical concert, but an evening that works with musical orchestration, literary condensation, and refined stage language. For the audience, this results in an intense concert experience with dramatic pull. ([wortundmusik.org](https://www.wortundmusik.org/kultur-im-pfarrgarten/?utm_source=openai))
