ALL CLASSICAL! - Attergau Cultural Summer 2026

Wednesday, August 5, 2026, 7:00 PM Parish Church Vöcklamark Ottorino Respighi: Antiche Danze ed Arie, Suite No. 3 Joseph Haydn: Cello Concerto in D Major, Hob. VIIb:2 P. I. Tchaikovsky: "Souvenir de Florence" for String Orchestra in D Minor, Op. 70 The enchanting dances from the Renaissance period arranged by Respighi open the evening's program and lead into Haydn's D Major Cello Concerto, which, alongside the C Major Cello Concerto, is considered part of the standard repertoire for great cellists. "Souvenirs of Florence" is the title Tchaikovsky gave to his only string sextet, composed in 1890; it was to be his last chamber music work. Despite its title, due to its unique richness of melodies and sonic opulence, it is a very "Russian" work that exhibits all the characteristics of Tchaikovsky's mature style. In the often-performed larger string ensemble, its impact is further enhanced. ARTISTS Matthias Bartolomey, cello Academia Allegro Vivo Vahid Khadem-Missagh, conductor
