This evening features four exceptional talents from the mdw:
Barbora Špelinová is a prizewinner of the International Competition in Leuven and wants to bring the audience closer to the enormous versatility of the recorder.
Harpsichordist Rui Cai is active as a soloist, in ensembles, and in opera productions, and is already making her second appearance at the Musikverein in Vienna.
As a member of the Orchestra Academy of the Vienna Philharmonic, Isabella Schwarz is thoroughly familiar with this concert venue and has chosen one virtuoso work each for oboe and English horn.
Saxophonist Danijel Zivojinovic has already performed successfully at the Salzburg Festival and the Konzerthaus in Vienna. Contemporary music is a particular passion of his.
A cooperation with the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna.
