Paris, Debussy, Ravel: a musical network full of sparks

Ricardo Viñes was considered a key figure of his time: he was connected with Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, Erik Satie, and Léon-Paul Fargue and premiered numerous works of this epoch. The program builds its tension exactly from this: an evening between refined orchestration at the piano, French spirit, and that effortless virtuosity that made Viñes famous.

The acoustic space: intimate, historical, focused

The Johannissaal in Nymphenburg Palace provides the appropriate setting for this. The Bavarian Palace Administration describes the hall as a concert venue with a maximum capacity of 90 people in row seating; it is suitable for concerts and has toilets, a cloakroom, and an elevator. The audience experiences not a grand space feel, but a close, immediate concert experience with clear acoustics and a noble historical ambiance.
