BRSO mit Franck Ollu bei der BR musica viva

Music emerges through dialogue—with memories, sounds, and works from times past. Michael Reudenbach causes the familiar to appear anew time and again, transforming the known into surprising soundscapes.

Clara Iannotta’s violin concerto *Sand like gold-leaf in smithereens*, written for Carolin Widmann, explores the violin in an unusual way: with specially strung strings and new playing techniques, a fascinating world of sound unfolds.

To conclude, Hans Zender’s *33 Variations on 33 Variations* offers a new interpretation of Beethoven’s famous Diabelli Variations —a tribute both to Beethoven and to the composer Hans Zender, who has shaped *musica viva* for many years.
