Lange Nacht der Theater

Tickets can be purchased at a later time.

In three short concerts, we show how versatile classical music can be. With Jess Gillam at the center, a musician who brings the saxophone to life like no other. Her energy and enthusiasm for music are absolutely contagious - even if you are not familiar with classical concerts.
The soprano saxophone that Jess Gillam plays is a rather unusual instrument in the concert hall. However, in the pieces we present to you today, she shows how versatile and moving it can sound: sometimes lyrical and gentle, sometimes full of power and tension.
In addition, you will hear excerpts from Antonín Dvořák's Seventh Symphony. This music tells of deep emotions - longing, pride, and joy. Dvořák composed it with so much heart that it is hard to resist.

Tickets for these events can be obtained at a later date through the >Long Night of the Theaters<.
