KORK Chamber with Ernst Simon Glaser & friends

From Mahler into the future.

The success from last year is repeated when the Aulaseries again host guest performances from the Broadcasting Orchestra. This time, solo cellist Ernst Simon Glaser has curated the programme and put together a number of works that mean a lot to him, and which resonate with our seasonal theme in several interesting ways. From Gustav Mahler's dark, beautiful movement for piano quartet via Britten's cello sonata to Shostakovich's majestic piano quintet, we get a gripping and large program when Glaser brings a bunch of good KORK colleagues and our own artistic director on stage.
