The third Festkonzert, featuring small and large chamber music, revolves around the flow of time, with all works displaying strong references to earlier music. Mozart's opening piece is the result of his studies of Handel's and Bach's fugal art, while Mel Bonis' Suite dans le style ancien refers more generally to the music of past eras.
The pair of works, Brahms' Ballade in B major for piano and Gérard Pesson's Nebenstück for clarinet and string quartet, are closely linked by Pesson's method of “filtration” through memory.
The highlight of the concert is the world premiere of Claire-Mélanie Sinnhuber's new Concertino for Piano and Ensemble with soloist Alasdair Beatson, whose artistry has fascinated Sinnhuber (Composer in Residence 2025/26) from the very first moment.
In her work, Sinnhuber often refers to Baroque (and Classical) forms and styles, which she integrates into her very own musical language – a musical language full of transparency, fascinating light and scintillating sounds.
