A Portrait with Radiance

The series is jointly supported by the Philharmonic State Orchestra Mainz, the Academy of Sciences and Literature Mainz, SWR Culture Music Rheinland-Pfalz, the State Music Council Rheinland-Pfalz, Villa Musica Rheinland-Pfalz, and the State Theatre Mainz. This strong alliance gives the concert its authority and special framework. ([orchester-mainz.de](https://www.orchester-mainz.de/spielplan/komponist_innenportrait))

Beethoven Meets the Present

The program includes Ludwig van Beethoven's variations on Ich bin der Schneider Kakadu, op. 121a, as well as Mustonen's Quartetto for Oboe, Violin, Viola, and Piano. The selection promises an exciting dramaturgy between classical form and modern handwriting. Those who know Mustonen do not expect a smooth surface but a pianist with sharp access, rhythmic energy, and precise musical thinking.

Especially with a chamber music-oriented program, the entire tension between acoustic clarity and immediate audience mood unfolds there. The encounter of solo playing, ensemble sound, and discussion makes the event a concert experience with closeness instead of distance.
