In this Best of concert, particularly outstanding talents from the mdw will present themselves:
David Volkmer is a prizewinner of the Forum Gitarre Wien competition and the Enrico Mercatali Competition. He is successful in both classical and popular music. His program is correspondingly diverse, ranging from the 19th to the 21st century and also including percussion.
The young flute quartet “Flûtes à Fleurs” is just as diverse: the winners of the Friedrich Kuhlau Competition will perform a work by the competition's namesake, as well as jazz pieces and showcase the percussive possibilities of their instruments.
Trombonist Jonathan Helm was inspired to write his own composition for his instrument during a trip to Bosnia: “Pleninarenje” describes the beautiful landscape, but also the still-present traces of the Balkan war. A very personal atmospheric picture.
Momoko Aritomi was an orchestral academy member of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra from 2022-24 and has been principal violist of the Tyrolean Symphony Orchestra Innsbruck since 2024/25. Rebecca Clarke's virtuoso viola sonata offers her the opportunity to showcase all her strengths.
A cooperation of mdw and the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna.
