Chamber Music at Greillenstein Castle

Since 2014, the Renaissance castle Greillenstein has been a permanent venue for the "Candlelight Concerts." The castle, with its fairy-tale charm, is very popular with both the audience and the performers! The concerts in the Turkish Hall will continue on May 9, 2026, with a chamber music evening. In the piano trio formation, violinist Yoko Saotome-Huber, pianist Robert Pobitschka, and - for the first time in the series - cellist Konstantin Zelenin will interpret Dvořák's famous "Dumky Trio."

The first part of the program features, among others, Tartini's "Devil's Trill Sonata," Beethoven's Romance Op. 50 for violin and piano, and three movements from the first suite for solo cello by Johann Sebastian Bach.

Yoko Saotome-Huber has been performing as part of the "Candlelight Concerts" since 2014. Her performances as a soloist in Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" - in 2017 with an ensemble of members from the Vienna Philharmonic and in 2025, accompanied by an ensemble of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra - have been resounding successes!

Konstantin Zelenin, originally from Minsk, has appeared as a soloist and chamber musician in Europe, America, and Asia, performing with the Belarusian National Symphony Orchestra, the National Chamber Orchestra, the Belarusian Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Brest Symphony Orchestra, the Gomel Symphony Orchestra, and the Riga Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra. Television and radio recordings document his active concert career.

Robert Pobitschka has been performing as a pianist in the "Candlelight Concerts" since 2003 and has been their organizational director since 2011. In addition to concerts in Austria and abroad, he also appears as a composer. During the Carinthian Summer Festival, he premiered his 1st Piano Concerto, and for the first performance of his 2nd Piano Concerto, he was the soloist with the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg.

A buffet will ensure the guests' culinary well-being.
