"The Expedition Concerts are about pure listening pleasure. We approach the great masterpieces of classical music from different directions, listen in on details, combine background stories and anecdotes with musical discoveries, and take the listeners along on this journey," is how Joana Mallwitz describes the format. She first shares her enthusiasm at the piano, then moves to the conductor's podium of the Konzerthaus Orchestra. Together, the entire work is then heard - in this case Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's "Italian", inspired by impressions of travel.
