klang Festival Concerts – IMPRESSIONS – Zürichberg

We’re celebrating—thanks to you, our dear audience. 20 years of «klang»—a tradition that moves us, brings us together, and endures.

Three compositions, three musical worlds: Mozart’s early String Quartet K. 155 captivates with its youthful freshness, clarity, and joy of playing. Bernard Herrmann’s «Souvenirs de Voyage» transports listeners to atmospheric soundscapes, combining the subtlety of chamber music with cinematic expressiveness. Finally, Weber’s Clarinet Quintet delights with virtuosic brilliance, melodic richness, and romantic warmth. A diverse program spanning classical music, visual imagery, and Romanticism.

Program:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, 1756–1791
String Quartet No. 2 in D Major, K. 155

Bernard Herrmann 1911–1975
Clarinet Quintet «Souvenirs de Voyage» *

Carl Maria von Weber, 1786–1826
Clarinet Quintet in B-flat Major, Op. 34

* If you’re not familiar with Bernard Herrmann: His work is a wonderful, heartfelt body of chamber music characterized by melancholy and deep nostalgia. The music is imbued with a delicate, impressionistic flair reminiscent of the spirit of Claude Debussy. If you Google him, you’ll come across his famous score for Alfred Hitchcock’s film *Psycho*. But this clarinet quintet isn’t in that style; rather, as described above, it’s lyrical and very sensitive.

It occurs:
Alma Quartet
Marc Daniel von Biemen – violin,
Benjamin Peled – Violin
Jeroen Woudstra – Viola
Joris van den Berg – Cello
together with Fabio Di Càsola – clarinet,

Concert without intermission. Program subject to change.
