Half-Turner Castle Concert: Musical Reading "A Pilgrimage to Beethoven"

Musical Reading "A Pilgrimage to Beethoven" with Karl Markovics & Florian Krumpöck (Piano) In 1840, the French music magazine Journal de Paris published the novella "A Pilgrimage to Beethoven" – a story written by a young and still unknown Richard Wagner in his financial distress for the magazine. The fictional journey of Richard Wagner to his long-deceased idol Beethoven turns into an entertaining tale full of wit and ultimately reveals almost more about its author than about the master himself.

Karl Markovics' storytelling art merges with the virtuosic and dramatic works of Beethoven, ultimately revealing the true theme: music. Works by composer Ludwig van Beethoven form the musical focus of the concert evening – interpreted by none other than pianist Florian Krumpöck. Experience the actor, screenwriter, director, multiple Romy Award winner, and Oscar winner Karl Markovics up close in the intimate living room of Maria Theresa at Schloss Halbturn!
