Sinfoniekonzert: Hommage

In the organizer's words:

Marta Gardolińska has rapidly developed into one of the most exciting and successful conductors in recent years. She makes her debut in Potsdam with a varied program that invites you on a journey to the French homeland of cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras.

The music of the Parisian Francis Poulenc sounds light and witty, distances itself from expectations, effortlessly combines musical characters and has an almost satirical effect when Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is suddenly heard. Jacques Ibert also plays with the grand master and parodies the virtues of Viennese classical music. Camille Saint-Saëns experimented with new sounds, rejected the composed emotionality of his contemporaries and preferred to celebrate objectivity - but hardly anyone knows that he was also a humorous draughtsman and caricaturist.
