The goal of our events is to help students get to know the city and it's surroundings.
Also we want to bring them together to find new friends and get to know other cultures, for this we organize different events like parties, trips, sports events and many more.
We published the event with this description:
Chamber music is classical music composed for a very small group of instruments, as opposed to large ensembles such as the orchestra or the choir. Due to its intimate nature, it is often described as “the music of friends”, performed in living rooms, or historically, palace chambers in front of royalty. The most common chamber music configurations include the string quartet (two violins, viola, cello), the art song (voice and piano), and the piano trio (piano, violin, cello), but there are many more.
This concert takes place in the Max-Joseph-Saal, a jewel within the heart of Munich known for its intimate atmosphere, making it perfect for chamber music.

About the programme
The violin theme that opens Haydn’s B flat major String Quartet op. 76/4 soars into the heights above a sustained chord in the other strings. Listeners felt they heard the rising of the sun – hence the work’s nickname, the “Sunrise” Quartet. Here Haydn’s music, in its allusive idiom, takes on almost proto-romantic traits. In contrast, Anton Webern’s Langsamer Satz (Slow movement) for string quartet sounds like a distant echo of the romantic era. His Six Bagatelles set out in a wholly different vein. These terse miniatures dispense with everything incidental, suggesting with a just few notes something that listeners can project further in their own minds. Finally, Schumann’s Piano Quintet is not only one of his most celebrated creations, but the piece that established the piano quintet genre in the first place. Clara Schumann rapturously summed it up: “a work abounding in vigour and novelty”.
