Bustling classical

‘An absolute epiphany, one of the new, young princes in the cello empire', Huffington Post wrote on Nicolas Altstaedt. We welcome this versatile musician as cellist and conductor. In his flashing version of Haydn's Celloconcerto, the bustling character of the Vienna Classics come to life.

With that same energy, he inspires our musicians to create an unforgettable recital of Haydn's Symphony nr 90. A work full of expression and drama, that excels in classical structures and magical number ratios. Those mathematical, musical structures we all know from the master of masters: J.S. Bach. And within that, Altstaedt sees a connection to the pure tonal world of Killmayer. 'A liberation, like the air I breath.', he said about this modern classic, which of course cannot be excluded.
