Guest in Bad Kissingen with our honorary conductor Manfred Honeck

Bad Kissingen, Regentenbau
19:30 Uhr

Apart from further performances at summer festivals, which only publish their programmes at a later date, our orchestra is a regular guest at the Kissinger Sommer. At the end of the season, we will be travelling on to Ottobeuren with our Honorary Conductor Manfred Honeck. The concerts in the basilica, a marvel of baroque sacred architecture, are always a celebration and are traditionally concluded with the ringing of bells. »I have taken this orchestra to my heart from the very beginning – I love it!« Manfred Honeck said this shortly after announcing that he would be our new Honorary Conductor. The chemistry between him and us is perfect. The programme includes two compositions that are in our orchestra’s core repertoire. In addition to Schubert’s »Unfinished«, the programme also features Brahms, who wasn’t able to finish a symphony until he was 43: a highly romantic masterpiece from the opening fateful conflict to the passionate overcoming in the finale – and including a melody that Brahms picked up in the Alps and embedded as a love greeting to Clara Schumann.
