4. Kammerkonzert: Streichquartett plus

In the organizer's words:

Anton Reicha Variations for bassoon and string quartet
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart String Quartet No. 19 in C major K. 465 "Dissonance Quartet"
Jean Françaix Divertissement for bassoon and string quintet
Dmitri Shostakovich String Quartet No. 8 op. 110

A highly attractive chamber music program that you won't find in any other chamber concert series: Two famous works from the core repertoire for string quartet stand alongside two wittily entertaining compositions in which bassoon and double bass join the classical quartet line-up.

Chamber music in its many forms has traditionally played an important role in the orchestral life of the Dortmund Philharmonic. Following the great popularity and positive response, we are once again venturing into the city in this season's tried-and-tested chamber music series and taking the audience to places where one would not expect to find classical musicians. The special thing remains: The orchestra musicians themselves put together the programs and perform pieces that are particularly close to their hearts in a relaxed, informal atmosphere. Of course, these include milestones of chamber music, but there are also many unknown and overlooked pieces to discover.
