New Year's Sounds in the Onoldia Hall: Schubert, Bizet, and Beethoven in Ansbach

An evening for great emotions and precise sound art: The Ansbach Chamber Orchestra opens the concert year with a sparkling overture by Franz Schubert, the youthful Symphony No. 1 by Georges Bizet, and Beethoven's majestic 5th Piano Concerto. Under the direction of Andreas Weiss and featuring the renowned pianist Dirk Mommertz, this New Year's concert promises an intense concert experience that fully utilizes the live atmosphere of the Onoldia Hall.

Sound Colors That Shine

Schubert's overture in Italian style sets the tone with dance-like lightness and clear orchestration. The acoustics of the Onoldia Hall carry the warm string sound to the last row – an ideal setting for finely profiled woodwinds and elegant dynamics.

Youthful Momentum: Bizet's Symphony No. 1

Bizet surprises with an exhilarating thematic work, buoyant rhythms, and smooth phrasing. The orchestra shapes contrasts with controlled energy and chamber music transparency – a lively dialogue between groups and solos.

Beethoven's Emperor in E-flat Major

Dirk Mommertz shapes the 5th Piano Concerto with brilliant articulation, expansive sound balance, and clever tempo drama. The synchronization with the ensemble remains tightly coordinated, and Andreas Weiss’s conducting focuses on architecture and breath – heroic gestures meet intimate moments.
