Kammermusikiade by Hindemith, dom. 29 jun 2025, De (2025/2025), hr-Sendesaal, Francfort, Alemania

This anniversary program invites you to celebrate a milestone birthday à la Hindemith: with music that is unusual and rich, playful and provocative, from the days of maturity and the Junge Wilde – in any case by Hindemith. The pioneer of modernism from Hanau turned against the cult of genius and the confessional of Romanticism his whole Life in favor of a »new objectivity«, which included decidedly parodistic traits, musical quotations and playing with popular genres. Four sonatas from Hindemith's rich œuvre can be heard here, for viola, oboe and cello – with, without or alone for piano – as well as an unconventional serenade. Music for the chamber at its best!
