Sitzkissenkonzert

In the organizer's words:

Family concert up close: Ravel's "Ma mère l'oye" with brass quintet

If you don't just like to look from afar, but also want to get up close and personal, then the seat cushion concerts in the OPAL foyer are the right place for you. In February, we are focusing on the brass and their beautiful golden instruments: with two trumpets, horn, trombone and tuba, we will set off on a journey through Charles Perrault's fairytale world and meet characters such as "Sleeping Beauty" and the little "Thumbelina". The music was composed by Maurice Ravel. He originally wrote it for two pianos under the title "Ma mère l'oye" ("Mother Goose"). Due to its great success, "Ma mère l'oye" has since appeared in many different versions - from large orchestra to chamber music. The arrangement for brass quintet heard in our concert is by the trombonist Ivaylo Hrisotv. This content has been machine translated.
