Spring Programme 2021

Once again, despite the limitations of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were able to set up a split programme, this time the orchestra was divided into four ensembles. At the end of the semester, the programmes of all ensembles were recorded. The recording can be found here on YouTube.

String Orchestra

The string players started their semester rehearsing in quartets and quintets. As soon as possible, these small formations were united to larger ensembles. The programme for the concerts was put together from quartet and quintet literature.

Conductor: Leon Felix Schlagintweit, Julian Haas

Wind Ensemble

The wind players rehearsed in quintets for the entire semester.
