"Classical music in Advent" - "Schubert String Quintet in C major"

Members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and the Vienna State and Volksoper will perform.

Schubert's only string quintet in the rare instrumentation of two cellos was composed a few months later in September 1828. It is probably one of the most famous chamber music works of all time and unites all the qualities of mature instrumental music in a way that was unique even for Schubert: symphonic form, enraptured beauty of sound and dramatic contrasts.

Every year it is a pleasure to plan the new program for "Klassik im Advent". Year after year, great classical artists enrich our "Spirit am Berg" program. With small, fine house concerts, lasting three quarters of an hour after dinner. Rarely do you have the opportunity to experience renowned artists in such a private, relaxed setting. In 2025, this very special pre-Christmas music festival will take place for the twelfth time on the Feuerberg. Pianist and conductor Prof. Manfred Schiebel will once again be a guest mentor at the Feuerberg. As a sought-after pianist, he has already worked with international stars such as Edita Gruberova, Grace Bumbry and Leo Nucci. We look forward to Klassik im Advent 2025.
