Dear Fanny, dear Felix! Conversation in tones "Music may become a profession for him, while for you it can and should only be an adornment, never the basic bass of your work" Far from it, dear Abraham Mendelssohn! For not only his son Felix was to celebrate great successes as a composer, but his no less talented daughter Fanny also proved to be a match for her brother. In honor of the 175th anniversary of the deaths of Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn, the Mendelssohn orchestra family of The Young ClassX is dedicated to the extraordinary work of the two Hamburg-born siblings. Accompanied by staged readings of the lively correspondence between Fanny Hensel (née Mendelssohn) and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, the three youth orchestras play their way through the composers' oeuvre.

The Camerata21-Trio (Barbara Hesse-Bachmaier - mezzo-soprano, Monika Olszak - flute & saxophone and pianist Mirjam von Kirschten) Presents a program of contrasts: in original compositions such as Hexenküche, Hexentanz, Satansgelächter, Phantom, Mephistolieder, the three musicians play poles that extend from delicate to intense, from conflictual to conciliatory, from harmonic to dissonant, from simple to virtuosic. Some of the pieces were composed especially for the ensemble. Played will be works by: Mel Bonis (1858-1937), Gloria Coates (*1938), Cécile Chaminade (1857-1944), Rebecca Clarke (1886-1979), Robert Delanoff (*1942), Dorothee Eberhardt (*1952), Elena Firsova (+1950), Dorothea Hofmann (b. 1961), Narine Khachatryan (b. 1979), Ljubica Maric (1909-2003), Vivienne Olive (b. 1950), Clara Schumann (1819-1896), and Elke Tober-Vogt (b. 1957). The program is supported by a grant from the German Music Council.

MD Christian Fitzner: Musical direction Central German Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra Schönebeck Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra Wernigerode Mélanie Bonis: Trois femmes de légende Maurice Ravel : Ma mère l'ove César Franck : Symphony in D minor "I would never have believed that a woman could write something like this. She knows all the clever tricks of the composer's trade." This quote from Camille Saint-Saens after a performance of Mel Bonis' Piano Quartet speaks volumes about the time when this gifted and exceedingly industrious composer wrote over 300 works that are largely sought in vain on concert programs today. Her biography is as exciting as a novel by Hugo or Dumas, only against the will of her family, she studied composition with Ernest Guiraud in Paris at the initiative of César Franck. Forced into a marriage against her will, which made her the stepmother of five children, she led a double life between a demure housewife and a creative musician throughout her life. At first, her works are still very much indebted to the tonal style of late Romanticism, as is characteristic of the Symphony in D minor by her mentor César Franck, but more and more her oeuvre moves into the impressionistic ...
Katharina Treutler: Piano MD Christian Fitzner: Musical direction Central German Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra Schönebeck Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra Wernigerode Maurice Ravel: Ma mère l'oye Mel Bonis: Trois Femmes de Légende (Cléopatra, Ophélie, Salome) Gabriel Fauré: Ballade for piano and orchestra op. 19 César Franck: Symphony in D minor French dream music with a fine sense of sound is the focus of this concert. Traces of impressionism and orientalism can be found in the composition cycle "Trois Femmes de Légende" by Mel Bonis, once a pupil of Gabriel Fauré: a work full of profound, pictorial inspiration and its inherent impressionistic descriptive character tinged with orientalisms. Maurice Ravel's musical fairy tale collection "Ma mère l'oye" also dares to take a look at past times and distant worlds between Orient and Occident. Fauré's lyrical Ballade for piano and orchestra, played by the internationally performing pianist Katharina Treutler, is followed by César Franck's first and only symphony, which ingeniously combines French charm with absolute music à la Beethoven.
