An evening of passion, language, and Beethoven at the Munich Artists' House
On Saturday, April 18, 2026, great literature meets great chamber music at the Munich Artists' House: Udo Wachtveitl and the Amici Ensemble combine Arthur Schnitzler's novella Casanova's Homecoming with Ludwig van Beethoven's String Quintet op. 29 for an intense live concert experience. The event starts at 19:30 and promises an evening that does not rely on effects but on tension, tonal colors, and psychological precision.

Language art meets string sound
Udo Wachtveitl has been known since 1991 as Franz Leitmayr from the Tatort crime series of Bavarian Radio and has made a name for himself as a speaker and performer as well as an award-winning artist. The Amici Ensemble provides the musical counterpoint: top soloists from the BR and hr symphony orchestras and the Munich Philharmonic form a chamber musical body that illuminates Beethoven's music with clarity, pressure, and noble balance. The combination of recitation and string quintet creates an evening with fine orchestration in a smaller format, full of breath, concentration, and emotional directness.

A melodrama with literary force
The foundation of the program is Schnitzler's view of aging, desire, memory, and the decay of an illusion. This is where the evening unfolds its special power: the narrative is not only read but placed in a musical resonance space where each phrase and every harmonic turn enhances the inner dramaturgy. Those sitting in the audience do not experience a conventional reading format but a finely tuned concert experience in which word and music react to each other in dense synchronization.
