Schubert String Quintet - Members of the Vienna Philharmonic

Karl Goldmark: String Quintet in A minor, Op. 9
Franz Schubert: String Quintet in C major, D 956

The string quintet opens up special sonic possibilities within chamber music: it expands the familiar quartet sound without relinquishing its intimate form of communication. Particularly in the 19th century, this genre became a place of intense musical concentration, where formal clarity and romantic expressiveness uniquely intertwine.

The evening centers around works by Karl Goldmark and Franz Schubert, two composers deeply rooted in the Viennese music tradition, who have each shaped it in very different ways. This program will be performed by members of the Vienna Philharmonic, who, alongside their orchestral work, are regularly engaged in chamber music. In this ensemble, individual voices meet a shared sound culture based on precise listening, creative freedom, and deep musical understanding.

An evening for all who wish to experience the great romantic chamber music in all its depth, richness of tone, and expressiveness.
