Chamber Concert «Golden Gate to Abbey Road»

Chamber Concert “Golden Gate to Abbey Road” invites audiences on a sweeping odyssey through the human heart, blending the timeless lyricism of the Classical era with the bold innovations of contemporary sound. In this cinematic first, Franz Schubert’s haunting masterpiece *“Death and the Maiden”* sets the stage, a profoundly dramatic work that has echoed Romantics’ deepest despair for generations. The program then pivots to Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s *Second String Quartet*, a pivotal finale to his compositional journey before escaping to the United States— an energetic, slightly defiant testament to resilience and the promise of an uncertain future. The delicate yet powerful *“Mishima / Closing”* by Philip Glass takes viewers into the realm of film score, its contemplative tones echoing with calm reconciliation. Finally, four carefully selected Beatles classics break the traditional mould, reminding us that life’s rhythm often refuses to be predicted. With brilliant violinists Franz Berlin and Hyejung Park, viola virtuoso Chanmi Shin, and cellist Valentin Preuß, each performance breathes fresh life into the works of Schubert, Korngold, Glass, and the Beatles— delivering a concert film that is as emotionally resonant as it is exhilarating.
