A chamber evening between Italian light and German depth
When the Munich String Quartet enters the Max-Joseph-Saal with Emiko Yuasa, sound culture meets historical elegance: The chamber concert »Italy and Germany« takes place on Saturday, June 27, 2026, at 20:00, featuring three very different musical temperaments. The program includes Boccherini, Verdi, and Brahms, representing Italian lightness, opera-like condensed expressiveness, and late romantic depth.

A hall that carries every nuance
The Max-Joseph-Saal in the Munich Residenz is regarded as an atmospheric setting for chamber music: centrally located at Residenzstraße 1 in 80333 Munich, with up to 320 seats in row seating and an atmosphere that encourages transparency and closeness. For concerts of this type, the space is ideally suited as it makes the finest dynamics, clean articulation, and the subtle tension between the voices audible.

Three works, three sound worlds
The concert combines Luigi Boccherini's C Major String Quintet, Giuseppe Verdi's only String Quartet in E minor, and Johannes Brahms's late String Quintet No. 2 in G major. The BRSO describes the evening as a contrast between southern brilliance and northern profundity; this is precisely what creates the allure of this program. Boccherini shines with a dance-like quality, Verdi condenses opera drama into chamber music form, and Brahms expands the horizon into a colorful sound painting of warmth, cheerfulness, and melancholy.

Soloists from the heart of the orchestra
On stage is the Munich String Quartet with Korbinian Altenberger, Stephan Hoever, Julianne Lee, and Jan Mischlich; the ensemble is complemented by Emiko Yuasa on viola. This specific lineup promises an intense concert experience as the voices react to each other in every phrase and the live atmosphere in the hall becomes almost palpable.

A strong statement from the BRSO season finale
The Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra has a long international reputation, numerous awards, and a strong presence in the European concert landscape. The fact that this chamber concert also serves as a season finale adds extra excitement to the evening: here, orchestral excellence condenses into concentrated chamber music, with precise ensemble playing, clear conducting in a metaphorical sense, and a stage where every bow movement counts.
