Chamber music with passion

After the great success last year, the Paganini Ensemble returns to the Wiener Musikverein.
Under the direction of the internationally celebrated Paganini interpreter Mario Hossen, the Paganini Ensemble dedicates itself to those rarely performed chamber music masterpieces of Niccolò Paganini, which combine the highest virtuosity with Italian Belcanto and refined sound poetry. The program is complemented by two world premieres by Alessandro Solbiati and Rainer Bischof, which open a contemporary dialogue with Paganini's legacy, as well as a tribute to Fritz Kreisler on the occasion of his 150th birthday.
An evening between historical depth and modern inspiration – passionate, virtuosic, moving.
