Description
50 to 100 highly gifted young people together form an orchestra. When they go beyond simply making music together and find the perfect blend of colours, balance and expressivity, then the Klangwunder («sound miracle») is complete. Felix Mendelssohn was aware of this when he wrote his «Hebrides» Overture with a very specific instrumentation. Like Mendelssohn in his day, Jörg Widmann, Composer in Residence for 2014, is a thoroughbred musician: instrumental virtuoso, conductor, composer and outstanding teacher all in one. The curator of the Grafenegg Academy 2025 brings his Violin Concerto No. 2, with all its richness of nuances, to be played by its dedicatee, his sister Carolin Widmann. Flowing in rapid succession, the third movement of the concerto draws a line to the finale of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7. This explosion of tone and rhythm has been setting off storms of delight for more than 200 years.
