MAHLER FESTIVAL: Matinee Concert

Matinee concert
"Der Tod, des muaß a Weaner sein"* Georg Kreisler
Schrammelmusik, Wiener Lieder, Gassenhauer

Vienna crops up again and again in Mahler's biography: as a student at the conservatory, as director of the court opera, as a dying man in the Löw sanatorium. As a terminally ill man, he asked to be brought to Vienna because, as he himself said: "Unfortunately, I remain a die-hard Viennese". His relationship to this city is also evident in his works, especially in the references to popular music and sometimes in a certain morbid ironic lightness.

Diviners - Theresa Aigner (violin), Julia Brunner (violin), Erna Ströbitzer (contraguitar), Marie-Theres Stickler (Viennese button accordion), Andrea Götsch (Bb, C, G clarinet), Stefanie Kropfreiter (viola), Anna Aigner (violoncello).
