Sound worlds between elegance, avant-garde, and vocal intensity
The Munich Chamber Orchestra invites you on November 12, 2026, to the second subscription concert of the 2026/27 season at the Prinzregententheater. Under the direction of Bas Wiegers, the ensemble collaborates with soprano Sarah Aristidou, presenting works by Claude Debussy, Claude Vivier, Chaya Czernowin, and Joseph Haydn in a contrast-rich concert evening.
Between French refinement and radical sound language
The program leads through various musical atmospheres: Debussy's colorful tonal language opens a sound space full of light and movement, while Chaya Czernowin's Birds for string orchestra explores the possibilities of modern orchestration. Roughness, brightness, density, and silence enter into a tense dialogue.
Sarah Aristidou and Lonely Child
With Claude Vivier's Lonely Child, the voice takes center stage for the evening. Sarah Aristidou shapes the part with high expressive precision, combining vocal flexibility with an intense stage performance. The music unfolds its effect between floating lines, concentrated sound, and emotional climax.
Bas Wiegers at the podium of the MKO
Bas Wiegers stands for precise, transparent conducting and detail-oriented work on orchestral sound. In collaboration with the Munich Chamber Orchestra, a differentiated synchronization emerges between the solo voice and the ensemble. Joseph Haydn's classical sense of form sets a clear counterpoint to the modern sound worlds of Vivier and Czernowin.
