Opera

Music Salon // Extra: oboe quartets and art history

After last year's great success, our new "guided tour plus concert" format returns to the Schlosskirche - with fresh stories and the usual brilliance of sound. The late baroque palace church in the west wing of Mannheim Palace, long the house church of Elector Carl Theodor's court, takes center stage. In Gerd Winter's knowledgeable guided tour, we learn about Mozart's organ playing as well as the palace church's pictorial program, which fits perfectly into the Christmas season. In addition, the oboe quartet led by Jean-Jacques Goumaz presents classic Viennese oboe quartets that represent the golden era of this unusual combination of string trio and oboe. Of course, Mozart's wonderful oboe quartet in F major K. 370 is included. But his Bohemian contemporaries František Míča (1746-1811) and Jan Křtitel Vaňhal (1739-1813) are also absolute masters of this repertoire. A special afternoon in one of Mannheim's most beautiful churches. This content has been machine translated.
