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. The first one is an orchestral suite with a complicated history. Originally written to be performed after a revived version of Molière's play "Le gourgeois gentilhomme", it was later separated because the audience of the play mostly disliked opera and vice-versa. That's why Strauss added a Prologue to explain some otherwise weird features of the music. Grieg's piano concerto is renowned as one of the most famous piano concertos and was influenced by Schumann's sytle. It also includes an innuendo to Norwegian folk music in the beginning. The last piece by Bach is as many of his works only preserved through many copies. The original composition is lost. The "Passacaglia" was once described as "intertwined so ingeniously that one can never cease to be amazed".
