program
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 1756-1791
String Quartet No. 2 in D major, KV 155
Bernard Herrmann 1911-1975
Clarinet Quintet "Souvenirs de Voyage" *
Carl Maria von Weber 1786-1826
Clarinet Quintet in B-flat major, Op. 34
* If you are unfamiliar with Bernard Herrmann: His work is a wonderful, intimate chamber music piece, imbued with melancholy and deep nostalgia. The music is imbued with a delicate, impressionistic flair reminiscent of the spirit of Claude Debussy. A Google search will lead you to his famous film score for the movie "Psycho" by Anthony Hitchcock. However, this clarinet quintet is not in that style, but rather, as described above, lyrical and very sensitive.
Concert without intermission. Program subject to change.
We celebrate – thanks to you, dear audience. 20 years of "klang" – a tradition that moves, connects, and endures.
Three compositions, three musical worlds: Mozart's early String Quartet KV 155 captivates with youthful freshness, clarity, and joy of playing. Bernard Herrmann's "Souvenirs de Voyage" transports the listener to atmospheric soundscapes, combining chamber music finesse with cinematic expressiveness. Finally, Weber's Clarinet Quintet delights with virtuosic brilliance, melodic richness, and romantic warmth. A diverse program spanning classical music, visual language, and romanticism.
With advance booking, the concert can be complemented by a culinary experience: an aperitif and a three-course gourmet menu served by "Kauer Catering." Please let us know if you require a vegetarian menu or have any allergies or intolerances – thank you.
This evening, the following exquisite menu will be served:
Cannelloni filled with braised tomatoes
in frothy Sbrinz cheese
*
Beef fillet medallions in Bordelaise sauce
with roasted vanilla millet,
savoy cabbage, and pumpkin
*
Roasted pineapple - gingerbread mousse
, pistachio crumble.
Aperitif & 3-course festive menu, including mineral water (discounts for children and teenagers). The price reflects the increased effort required for external catering and the rental of Villa St. Charles Hall. It is a unique experience to be pampered with culinary delights in the Viennese Hall and/or the Gobelin Room.
Getting there: S3 or Voralpenexpress to Meggen Zentrum or bus 24 to the Kapelle stop; from there, approximately a 4-7 minute walk. By car (destination: Benzeholzstrasse 41): there is a limited number of parking spaces in front of St. Charles Hall; public parking is available in the immediate vicinity of the park (Fridolin-Hoferstrasse; along the lake, by the outdoor swimming pool). The underground parking garage in the village center is also available (a 5- to 8-minute walk from there) via Kapelle/Benzeholzstrasse.
CHF 5.00 to CHF 170.00 (including aperitif and 3-course gourmet menu with mineral water).
Doors open 30 minutes before the concert.
The drinks bar, provided by Kauer Catering, opens 1 hour before the concert.
