Tischlerei concerts
The Tischlerei concerts are the heart of chamber music at the Tischlerei. Musicians themselves decide: What moves us? What do we want to share? Inspired by new productions on the opera stage and in the Tischlerei, six evenings that bring together familiar and obscure works have been crafted. These concerts are personal, unexpected, vibrant and the secret passions of the orchestra. Music for heart and mind. Six evenings at the Tischlerei. Come by and hear what moves our musicians.
Against forgetfulness > 7.10.26
Forgotten life stories of musicians persecuted during National Socialism who once played at the opera, and outstanding music that will now be played once more: from Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Aribert Reimann to Miloslav Kabeláč and Werner Richard Heymann. An evening against forgetting.
Culture Clash > 30.11.26
Confrontation or inspiration? Where do traditions meet, and where do they clash? An evening of musical encounters, overlaps, cores – and appropriation. With works by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Antonín Dvořák, Béla Bartók and Hilda Paredes.
Improvisation > 14.1.27
Improvisation as a pillar of living music culture: What formal or harmonic agreements are made to make the free playing of music possible? How do various eras differ in this regard? A celebration of spontaneity from Baroque to jazz with composer-in-residence Bára Gísladóttir.
LOL > 1.3.27
Isn’t that funny? Laughter is social interaction and has many counterparts in music, from the absurd to the subversive. If only we found humour in the same things. An evening with the orchestra academy members.
Is it Love? > 7.4.27
The many facets of love. We explore the multifaceted nature of love in music: obsessive, tender, destructive, unattainable. From the first encounter to infatuation and the final parting. An evening of words and music about love.
Britannia > 19.5.27
On the occasion of War Requiems we explore Benjamin Britten’s musical world. What influences shaped his creations? What makes his colour palette so unique? From Purcell to Britten, an island journey through the centuries.
