Schnee

This year once again the Tonspiele will delight audiences with a festive story about the Christmas season, and in keeping with winter, it’s all about... snow! Can you express snow in music? If so, how would that sound and feel? What does snow invite us to do – and what happens if it doesn’t come? In a new instalment of their popular scenic chamber music performances, the Tonkunstler’s music educators and orchestral musicians explore snow in its various forms: falling, crunching, cloaking the world in silence or turning to ice. A fun game that’s not without risks, because where winter’s involved, dangers often lurk... Between the familiar sounds of old master Antonio Vivaldi and new work from the pen of percussionist Lucas Salaun, a wintry musical landscape unfolds – embedded in a story that invites you to listen and discover.
