5.30 pm: Discovery programme (pdf, in German)

Get in the mood for the program now! The latest episode of the 'Concert Corner' podcast series is all about galactic film music, sounding planets and greetings from outer space.


Even the ancient Greeks believed that the movements of the celestial bodies create a harmony of the spheres that has an influence on the human soul. In his seven-movement programme music The Planets, Gustav Holst took up mythological ideas people had about the planets: from the warlike Mars to the dissolute pleasure of Jupiter.

Before that, you will experience the Basel debut of the American string trio Time for Three, TF3 for short. The American composer Kevin Puts imagined that the refrain of his concerto for TF3 and orchestra could be a message sent into space, containing references to our DNA, to our nature as earthlings.

6.45 pm: Concert introduction with Hans-George Hofmann


Shortly before the end of the Second World War, Benjamin Britten wrote his Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings on six texts by English poets from different centuries. The result is a touching piece of night music, which is turned into a special experience by the tender, gentle and pure tenor voice of the British Allan Clayton.

Bruckner achieved his breakthrough with the public with his 7th Symphony. It was the turning point for the better in his life.
