Groove in the Johannissaal: Classical Music Gets a New Pulse
On Friday, October 23, 2026, the Johannissaal in Nymphenburg Palace transforms into a resonance chamber for four centuries of European music. The concert Groove combines baroque dance rhythms, Viennese classicism, and pulsating sounds of the 20th century into a colorful chamber music evening.
When Mozart, Beethoven, and Bartók Start to Dance
The program ranges from Jean-Philippe Rameau's Danse des sauvages and Antonio Vivaldi's La Follia to Mozart's 40th Symphony and Beethoven's 7th Symphony, concluding with Bartók's Romanian Dances. Shostakovich's waltzes, Ravel's jazz-inspired violin sonata, Monti's Csárdás, Prokofiev's Dance of the Knights, and Dvořák's Symphony From the New World will also be heard in surprising arrangements.
Chamber Music with Orchestral Power
A string quartet, piano, clarinet, and percussion come together to merge into a versatile sound. Simon Luethy and Erik Maier on violins, Carla Guillén García on viola, Kokoro Ryu on cello, Haruka Ogawa on piano, and Valeriia Makarova on clarinet create a stage performance between precise synchronization, dance energy, and tonal refinement.
Historic Palace Atmosphere and Lively Audience Mood
