Brahms & Dvorak: Salzburg Festival

About the Event

The Bennewitz Quartett performs selected works by Dvorak and Brahms with Tanja Ariane Baumgartner, Marcus Ullmann, Martin Bruns, and Andreas Frese at the Salzburg Festival.

Since its founding in 1920, the Salzburg Festival has established itself as the most important festival for opera, drama and concerts. The Salzburg Festival presents performances of opera, theatre and concerts of the highest artistic standards over a period of five to six weeks each summer. Conductors, stage‐directors, orchestras, singers, actors and virtuoso instrumentalists of world renown can be seen and heard in July and August in the town on the river Salzach.

Even the most eminent opera stars come together here to rehearse productions intensively for several weeks, thereby fulfilling the creed of the Salzburg Festival as it was originally envisioned by Hugo von Hofmannsthal, one of the Festival’s founding fathers: “Dramatic play‐acting in the strongest sense is our intention; routine, run‐of‐the‐mill performances have no place here.”
