participants
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:
The Bavarian Radio Symphony is considered one of the best orchestras in the world, ranked by many music critics among the global top 10. This concert takes place in the Herkulessaal, located inside the Residenz, the former royal palace in the heart of Munich.
The concert features three pieces. The first 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 second piece was initially written for Strauss' mentor von Bülow, but he denied to practise it and called it a "complicated piece of nonsense" with the piano part being "unplayable". Years later Eugen d'Albert was the first pianist to play it.
The last work is the Piano Quartet No. 1 by Johannes Brahms, arranged for an orchestra by Arnold Schönberg.
More information here. After the event, we are going to have food and drinks at a nearby establishment.
