Notturno: An dem Fluss (by the river)

Notturno presents their first program in 2024 - An dem Fluss (by the river) - at the lovely Glebe Town Hall.

Taking a cue from the primary work in this program, the Grand Trio pour Guitare, Flûte et Alto by Joseph Kreutzer, Notturno look to presenting works from composers that lived and worked by Germany’s greatest river system, the Rhein and the Main.

Kreutzer lived most of his professional life in Düsseldorf, Ludwig van Beethoven was naturally the famous son of Bonn, Christian Gottlieb Scheidler was employed in Mainz, but was forced to flee to Frankfurt when Mainz was laid under siege, and Joseph Küffner never seemed to escape his work at the provincial centre of Würzburg.

With the obvious exception of Beethoven, all these performer composers have escaped the attention of the modern music world, and it’s our great pleasure to bring them to you for an evening concert.
