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:
Concert of the Munich Philharmonic in the new Isarphilharmonie.
The concert features three pieces. First, a brief work, "Archora", by Anna Thorvaldsdottir, a contemporary composer, will première. Then the second one by Rachmaninoff resembles a piano concerto and only has one movement. It picks up a famous theme from Niccòlo Paganini's last Cappricio for solo violin and presents 24 variations of it in the rhapsody. A specialty is that the first variation is presented before the original theme. The third and last piece was written by Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and is a symphonic suite based on "One Thousand and One Nights". It is one of his most famous compositions and incorporates both a colourful orchestration and oriental inspirations, both typical features of Russian music.
