When the Kurhaus Wiesbaden opens its doors to the magnificent Friedrich-von-Thiersch-Saal at the end of June, you can look forward to the second opening concert of the Rheingau Music Festival!

Once again, the hr-Sinfonieorchester will be playing, with whom you can indulge in the multifaceted sounds of this year's focus composer Maurice Ravel and get to know a wonderful pianist: Beatrice Rana.

Together with the orchestra and Alain Altinoglu, she will perform Maurice Ravel's sensitive and excitingly orchestrated Piano Concerto in G major. And when, in the second half, the MDR Radio Choir envelops the Kurhaus in very special sounds with Charles Gounod's well-known "Cäcilienmesse", nothing stands in the way of a successful second opening concert.

Program:

  • Maurice Ravel "Une barque sur l'ocean" from Miroirs M. 43
    Piano concerto in G major M. 83
  • Charles Gounod "Cecilia Mass"

Cast:

  • Beatrice Rana, piano
  • MDR Radio Choir
  • hr Symphony Orchestra
  • Alain Altinoglu, conductor
