Four trumpets, one evening: sonorous memories in Villach!
On May 14, 2025, the Congress Center Villach will become a place of musical enjoyment when the talented musicians Stefan Obmann, Christian Poitinger, Martin Riener and Raphael Stieger present their latest program. They have been on stage together since 2006 and offer a concert that impresses with a combination of lively and thoughtful sounds. The pieces come from well-known composers such as Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Frédéric Chopin, Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk and Toots Thielemans. The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are available at all Ö-Ticket ticket offices and online at www.oeticket.com. Click Carinthia reports that the sound brings back memories of travel, crises, concert stress and friendship.
The combination of classical and jazzy elements makes the concert a special experience. The works of Mendelssohn, among others, are deeply rooted in German musical history. In the early 1840s, the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm IV tried several times to bring the composer to Berlin, but Mendelssohn only stayed there for a short time. Due to conflicts in the artistic environment and disputes over jurisdiction, he soon returned to Leipzig. Mendelssohn's final years were tragic; his nervous breakdown in 1847 after the loss of his sister Fanny and his early death in the same year represent a deep turning point in music history. This is what the Berlin State Library details the challenges Mendelssohn experienced during his career.
