The evening's soloist is clarinettist Roeland Hendrikx. At 7.30 pm there will be an introduction by the director of the Rheinische Philharmonie, Günter Müller-Rogalla.
The first clarinettist of the Munich court orchestra, Carl Baermann, inspired the composer Carl Maria von Weber to write a number of works for this virtuoso, of which the two clarinet concertos are among the highlights. The first concerto in particular surprises with its already clearly Romantic tonal language. It is accompanied by Andreas N. Tarkmann's arrangement of an opera aria by Weber, which was written especially for the evening's soloist, Roeland Hendrikx. The evening will be complemented by the overture to Heinrich von Collin's tragedy "Coriolan" by Ludwig van Beethoven from 1807 and Franz Schubert's Symphony No. 2 in B flat major, which he composed as a young man in the winter of 1814/15.
