Afterwards around 19.15 in the Mozart Saal:
Post-concert:Schoenberg, Ode to Napoleon Bonaparte
Admission free
The concept of Annette's DaschSalon is as simple as it is successful: Guests come, chat with each other, make music, the host in the middle, charming, eloquent and always in a good mood, the audience joins in and entertains itself at its best.
This year, the soprano and presenter ties in with the theme of the music festival and, together with her guests from a wide range of genres, explores Beethoven as a political figure and, further afield, the theme of "heroes".
A post-concert talk then gives the floor to Arnold Schoenberg: the latter took a clear political stand in his "Ode to Napoleon". In the work, composed in 1942 in American exile, he sharply denounces Hitler's Nazi regime and prophesies its downfall.
