Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov was his composition teacher, he himself wrote a symphony and a piano concerto as well as all kinds of songs, chamber music and piano works. But hardly anyone knows Georgi Catoire today. To mark the 100th anniversary of his death on 21 May, the program will begin with his melancholy Piano Quintet in G minor, in which echoes of Johannes Brahms can be heard alongside his own music. Brahms himself is also represented with his symphonic F minor quintet. In between is one of the 34 string quintets by George Onslow: Harmonic richness and cantabile melodies characterize the work, in which the composer also achieves a special sonority through the scoring with cello plus double bass.

In cooperation with the Lehmbruck Museum.
The museum opens half an hour before the concert begins.
