Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote his only clarinet concerto in 1791 for his friend and clarinettist Anton Stadler. In the famous Adagio in particular, Mozart creates simple beauty with modest means, as Alexandra Gruber, principal clarinettist with the Munich Philharmonic, will demonstrate.
At the request of Maestro Zubin Mehta, the second half of the concerts on 18, 19 and 20 June has been changed at short notice. Instead of the originally announced programme featuring Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9, the orchestra will perform Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5. Maestro Mehta kindly asks for the audience’s understanding and looks forward to the forthcoming concerts.
