Faust, Bezuidenhout, Kenny & von der Goltz at Pierre Boulez Saal

Over het evenement

The concert to remember for days to come awaits you at Berlin's Pierre Boulez Saal in a highly‐anticipated chamber music program where Isabelle Faust brings you the art of Bach, Biber and von Westhoff.

Together with Christian Bezuidenhout, Elisabeth Kenny and Christine von der Goltz, Isabel Faust presents a cross‐section of the virtuoso Baroque violin repertoire: The work of Salzburg Kapellmeister Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber and Dresden court musician Johann Paul Westhof, considered the leading violinists of their generation, had a decisive influence on the development of violin music at the turn of the 17th to 18th centuries, not least on the sonatas of Johann Sebastian Bach.

Pierre Boulez Saal

The Pierre Boulez Hall is the hall of the Barenboim‐Said Academy. Designed by Frank O. Geary, the hall opened in March 2017 in Berlin, Germany. The hall was named in tribute to French conductor and composer Pierre Boulez, a name suggested by the Argentinian‐Israeli pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim. Despite being essentially a chamber venue, the structure has a cuboid shape that can accommodate medium‐sized orchestras, and up to 682 visitors. Architect and musicians alike seek to offer a 360 degree perspective on music, combining styles, cultures and viewpoints in the space.
