JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH Brandenburg Concerto No. 1 in F major BWV 1046
JOHANN GOTTLIEB GRAUN Concerto for Viola da Gamba, Strings and Bc. G major
ROBERT SCHUMANN Symphony No. 3 in E flat major "Rhenish" op. 97

Introduction 30 minutes before the concert in the main hall.

Robert Schumann had barely arrived in Düsseldorf as Municipal Music Director when he wrote his third symphony in 1850 and conducted its premiere the very next year. This lively symphony bears the nickname "Rhenish", which certainly goes further than just paying homage to Rhenish cheerfulness. In the fourth movement in particular, the music enters a different world that is clearly influenced by his favorite composer Johann Sebastian Bach.
He had dedicated his collection of world-famous Brandenburg Concertos with the laconic title Concerts avec plusieurs Instruments to the Margrave of Brandenburg 120 years earlier. The festive hunting music of his first concerto demands the utmost virtuosity from all orchestral groups.
At the same time, Johann Gottlieb Graun was working as concertmaster at the court of Frederick the Great. We have invited the Bremen professor and internationally sought-after soloist Hille Perl to play his wonderful concerto in G major for viola da gamba and venture into the rewarding repertoire of the so-called gallant style.
