Woodwind Evening Clarinet & Bassoon Enthralls Mainz in the Red Hall

Subtlety meets Stage Air: Woodwind Evening Clarinet & Bassoon in the Red Hall

When the woodwind classes of the University of Music Mainz invite you to their woodwind evening, a concert night with fine chamber music, concentrated live atmosphere, and precise sound culture is created in the Red Hall. The program features students from the classes of Prof. Felix Löffler and Prof. Axel Benoit, accompanied on piano by Polina Grishaeva. The concert is scheduled for November 29, 2026, at 19:00 in the Red Hall, University of Music Mainz.

An evening that makes breath and articulation audible

The clarinet brings warmth, agility, and colorful phrasing, while the bassoon sets foundation, character, and depth. Exactly from this contrast, the evening thrives: from dialogues, clean entries, and a chamber music that generates intimacy instead of distance. The University of Music Mainz has been shaping such stage moments for decades, where education, presence, and musical maturity come together.
