麻豆社 Philharmonic in a Viennese whirl
Johann Strauss's Blue Danube and Emperor Waltzes set the tone for a programme which includes Beethoven's 'apotheosis of the dance' and Berg's Violin Concerto.
Conductor Anja Bihlmaier joins the 麻豆社 Philharmonic for an evening inspired by the dance of Vienna. Beethoven's Seventh Symphony, described by Wagner as the "apotheosis of the dance" is the culmination of a programme which has a rich seam of dance running through it. Young Czech violinist Josef 艩pa膷ek, joins the orchestra for Berg's by turn angelic and angst-ridden concerto with its hint of waltz and a touching conclusion using the music of Bach.
We open each half of the programme with luscious waltzes by Johann Strauss II; the Emperor Waltz and the Blue Danube. Heard in this context they exude style, colour and warmth to create an evening giving an opportunity to experience a unique twist on iconic music.
