Programme
What to expect:
George Gershwin: Symphonic Suite from “Porgy and Bess” An American in Paris Rhapsody in Blue
Mit gerade einmal 17 Jahren gab der Steirer mit Mozarts neuntem Klavierkonzert sein Debüt beim Orchester Recreation im Stefaniensaal. Seither sorgt der junge Ausnahmepianist aus der Klavierklasse Markus Schirmers mit ersten Preisen und gefeierten Gastspielen international für Furore. Seine innigste Liebe gilt dem Werk von Beethoven.
Recreation is special in many ways: consisting of musicians whose nationalities range from Japan to Venezuela, most of the members received part of their training in Graz. After its formation in 2002, the collective has played in unique halls such as the Alte Oper Frankfurt and has worked with outstanding conductors.
The conductor with Italian temperament was born in Rome and studied piano and chamber music there. Daniela Musca, who also completed studies in musicology and Italian literature, later moved to Berlin where she began her studies in orchestral conducting.
“Summertime” can help us get through dismal February
Summer is still a long way off but “Summertime” can help us get through dismal February. There is always a smile in the sound of Gershwin and a swing in the rhythm. Guaranteeing that “Rhapsody in Blue” brings the streets of Manhattan to Graz and “An American in Paris” dances its way into your heart are Philipp Scheucher from Graz on the grand piano and Daniela Musca from Rome on the podium.
