The WKO is considered one of the renowned German chamber orchestras, founded in 1960, and represents music from the Baroque to the present, with a special focus on the Viennese Classical period.

Beethoven as the Dramatic Core

Especially the two Beethoven concertos promise an evening of dramatic intensity and lyrical pauses. The Stadttheater itself announces the performance as a concert featuring Matthias Kirschnereit and points to the contrast between the colorful miniatures by Heino Eller and Beethoven’s powerful tonal language.
