«Rheinberger-Festival» – Kammerkonzert

In the 125th year of his death, his romantic and highly aesthetic music is not only celebrated on the occasion of the Rheinberger Festival in Vaduz, but can also be heard in neighbouring Graubünden. And this even side by side with a world premiere from the pen of Jürg Hanselmann, who – how could it be otherwise – also comes from Liechtenstein. Hanselmann is not only a compatriot of Rheinberger, but also a grandson in the line of composition teachers, which extends from Sándor Veress to Rheinberger's pupil Hans Kössler. In the same chamber music line-up, he composes a work that pays tribute to the traditional form on the one hand and has its own stylistic characteristics on the other. Together with Rheinberger's masterpiece, the concert programme forms a dramaturgical arc between past and present.
