Klassische Philharmonie Bonn / Friedrich Thiele / Christian Kunert
»Jupiter« / Mendelssohn: Music from »A Midsummer Night’s Dream« / Tchaikovsky: Rococo Variations / Mozart: »Jupiter« Symphony
Sparkling with joy
A concert programme containing work both from the Classical and the Romantic eras awaits the audience this evening. The title of this concert is probably Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s most famous symphony, his »Jupiter« Symphony. Mozart did not live to see the premiere (or success) of this majestic work, which ended up being his last symphony. Although it was written at a time when Mozart was plagued by existential fears, it sparkles with joy.
The Klassische Philharmonie Bonn was founded in 1986, has around 60 members and performs its own regular concert series in concert halls throughout Germany. The orchestra’s repertoire ranges from music of the baroque to modern periods, with a particular focus on works from the First Viennese School, although contemporary works and compositions by school pupils are regularly found alongside Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven.
