Symphonic Masterpieces

Look forward to an outstanding orchestral concert with the Württembergische Philharmonie Reutlingen under the direction of Alexander Mayer!

The soloists of the evening are the professors of the masterclasses, presenting their extraordinary artistry. A special highlight will be the world premiere of the concerto for four cellos and orchestra, “SPADES, CLUBS, DIAMONDS & HEARTS – Secret World between Heaven and Fairground”, composed especially for this concert and for the four professors. Inspired by the card symbolism of the Major Arcana of the Tarot, the work unfolds a fanciful musical journey in six movements (Prologue – Ace of Spades – Jack of Clubs – King of Diamonds – Queen of Hearts – Epilogue).

Be enchanted by magical sounds and musical mastery – a must for all lovers of classical music!
