»AMADEUS TRIO«

Performers:

AMADEUS TRIO
Wolfgang David, violin
Wolfgang Panhofer, cello
Bernhard Parz, piano

The AMADEUS TRIO returns to the Wiener Konzerthaus with esprit. 

Three outstanding Viennese musicians, who have performed as soloists with top international orchestras, come together here to form an ensemble of Viennese charm and touching expressiveness.

After international successes, for example in the Suntory Hall, they now present a programme full of virtuosity and passion: from Haydn's humorous Trio in C to Beethoven's »Gassenhauer« trio – which can also be heard on their new CD – to Tchaikovsky's monumental emotional epic.

Experience the sound culture of the Amadeus Trio live – an evening that combines the Viennese chamber music tradition at its best.

Place

The Konzerthaus in Vienna (German: Wiener Konzerthaus) was opened 1913. It is situated in the third district just at the edge of the first district in Vienna. Since it was founded it has always tried to emphasise both tradition and innovative musical styles.

In 1890, the first ideas for a Haus für Musikfeste (House for music festivals) came about. The idea of the new multi-purpose building was to be more interesting to the broader public than the traditional Vienna Musikverein. In addition to the concert hall, the first drawings by Ludwig Baumann for the Olympion included an ice-skating area and a bicycle club. In an attached open air area, 40,000 visitors would be able to attend events. The drawings were not accepted. However, today an ice skating area is situated right next to the building.

The Konzerthaus was finally built between 1911 and 1913. The architects were Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer; the work was done in cooperation with Ludwig Baumann.
