Fabian Müller has already performed all of Ludwig van Beethoven's piano sonatas at the Pierre Boulez Saal, and now he will play Mozart's A major concerto, which was composed in 1786 while the composer was working on Le nozze di Figaro. Norwegian conductor Tabita Berglund will be making her debut at the podium of the Staatskapelle Berlin, inviting the audience to immerse themselves in the meditative sound world of Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, who celebrates his 90th birthday a few days before the concert. The music of Dobrinka Tabakova, which refers to a melody by Franz Schubert, leads the listener into a ‘kind of weightlessness through the cosmos, past stars and planets.’ Schubert's enigmatic Symphony in B minor will follow – music that wanders between lyrical intensity and gloom, between light and shadow.
