If there is a common thread running through the work of the Austrian contemporary composer and maestro of Italian opera Matthias Georg Kendlinger, it is that people always take centre stage. On this varied evening, he shares the conductor’s podium with his son, Max Kendlinger. Together with their K&K Philharmoniker orchestra and K&K opera choir as well as vocal and instrumental soloists like the pianist Philipp Scheucher from Graz, that is the message they will convey with music that is both sensitive and evocative.
With over 28 million views on YouTube, Kendlinger’s recording of Verdi’s Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves, Va, pensiero, is one of the world’s most viewed classical recordings, topped only by Pavarotti and the Three Tenors. A further highlight: The internationally renowned hip-hop dancer Yann Antonio will render his interpretation to the overture to Giuseppe Verdi’s Giovanna d’Arco.
