Bartolomey’s individual musical language draws inspiration from Bach’s timeless legacy of motifs and rhythms. Here he weaves his own music into movements from Baroque suites, drawing contrasts which are both sharply defined and carefully considered. Bach's music is presented in its pristine form, while Bartolomey's original compositions serve as contemporary commentaries, adding layers of colour and introspection to the performance. The duality at the heart of this programme is evident not least in the artist’s choice of instruments. The first, a cello made in 1727 by David Tecchler in Rome, represents the music of Bach. The second is a faithful copy of the first, made by Philip Bonhoeffer in 2021, and represents the music of Bartolemey.

Led by their choirmaster, 24 boys in sailor suits sing in concert. Why are they known and loved by people all over the world? Because they remind us that music is the universal language of human emotion, a language which knows no national boundaries. Over the course of eleven Fridays, the world-famous Vienna Boys Choir show off their talents. With youthful energy and charm, they lead their audience on a journey through musical history, taking in not just Mozart, Schubert and Strauss, but World Music and Pop as well. And along the way we’ll no doubt hear a few stories from their history, which stretches back over more than 525 years!

Fierrabras, Schubert’s most important operatic work, tells the story of five young people who are bound together by ties of love and friendship. They are of different social ranks, but are all the offspring of rulers who are sworn enemies. This semi-concertante performance is the first opportunity for a Vienna audience to hear this music since Claudio Abbado’s brilliant production in 1988.  

In their book “On Connection”, Kae Tempest describes the constantly magical transformation of space through the connection between artist and audience. In alignment with George Lewis’s perspective on his piece “As We May Feel,” where the “associative assemblage only fully unfolds in the encounter with the listener, whereby the activity of listening and that of composing flow into one another,” and Wolfgang Mitterer’s concept of “musical temperature” capturing the enchantment of music-making, Tempest consistently circles back to the self-contained connection that creators and recipients forge. Amuse-Gueule Much like a welcome culinary treat from the kitchen, our version represents an ear-opening introduction, where we extend a direct invitation to interested audience members to join us in anticipation of each concert. In less than an hour, we swiftly navigate through the thrilling highlights of the upcoming programme, allowing our visitors to actively engage in this unique listening experience right in the midst of the ensemble. Start: 18:15 (free admission). Biglietto sospeso – The Soliticket Inspired by the wonderful Neapolitan tradition of caffè sospeso, where the buyer of a cup of coffee financially supports the cup of an unknown fellow customer in a gesture of solidarity, we present the Biglietto sospeso for the concerts in the YOU BETTER LISTEN! series. It’s essentially a one-for-two deal!
