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:
Alternative programme for the Barenboim concert initially scheduled for 10/11/22.
This concert is part of this year's SZ Adventscalender and means the profit from it will be donated to the SZ charity supporting people in need in and around Munich.
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 at the Isarphilharmonie. NOT like most of the other Bavarian Radio Symphony concerts at Herkulessaal!
About the programme
This all-Strauss programme spans the composer’s entire life, from the intoxicating vitality of Don Juan, composed at the age of 24, to the melancholy retrospection and farewell that he transmuted into beauty in the Four Last Songs in 1948, a year before his death. The third piece on the programme, Thus Spake Zarathustra, is perhaps the most ambitious of Strauss’s tone-poems: the clash of two disparate tonalities (C major and B major) and the juxtaposition of rigorous musical forms and philosophically-tinged intertitles lend a spellbinding force to this Nietzschean homage. Even without specific references to the historical Zarathustra, Nietzsche and Strauss did much to make Zoroastrianism better known in Europe. Today some 300,000 believers follow this doctrine, considered to be the world’s first monotheistic religion. One of them is Zubin Mehta, who was born in Mumbai in 1936.
