Mendelssohn's Concerto for Two Pianos is a lively and playful dialogue between Lucas and Arthur Jussen: two brothers who instinctively understand one another.
Prokofiev's Cinderella enters the concert hall without ballet shoes. In the suite, dance, rhythm and narrative merge into one. What remains is music that dances without a backdrop: sharp lines, unexpected accents and an energy that keeps on flowing.
This is precisely where the strength of Cologne's WDR Sinfonieorchester lies. As one of Germany's most versatile and technically sophisticated orchestras, it excels at transparency and stylistic agility. Under the direction of Marie Jacquot, the first female chief conductor in the history of the orchestra, that interplay gains an extra edge. Her fresh, bold vision combines tradition with immediate energy.
This evening is not about grand gestures, but rather a focus on rhythm, timing and mutual tension. Playful music: both between the performers, with the form, and with the listener's ear.
Tickets: € 15 - € 95
