KAVAKOS — MA — AX

Three exceptional artists – violinist Leonidas Kavakos, cellist Yo-Yo Ma and pianist Emanuel Ax – meet in a trio of superlatives on stage at the Kulturpalast. Ever since the musicians first played together at the Tanglewood Festival in 2014, the rapture this outstanding formation elicits from audiences and critics alike has not abated. »The Washington Post« praised the musical chemistry between the three as »almost supernatural«. In their programme »Beethoven for Three«, they dedicate themselves to Beethoven’s trios and symphonies. The trio arrangements of the symphonies make the boundaries between chamber and orchestral music blur in a fascinating way, opening sonic horizons in which the power and direct appeal of Beethoven’s music can be rediscovered. A highlight in the festival calendar!
