Strauss and Pasculli at the Grafenegg Chateau

Over het evenement

The Tonkünstler Orchestra, principle conductor Andrés Orozco‐Estrada and renowned oboe soloist François Leleux perform a series of works telling fantastic tales from foreign lands in distant times.

Set in the beautiful surroundings of the Grafenegg Chateau in lower Austria, the evening begins with Richard Strauss’ Till Eugenspiel’s Merry Pranks, a bold piece that chronicles the misadventures of a German peasant folk hero. The evening is rounded off after the interlude with two Italian works: Pasculli’s Concerto for Oboe and Orchestra and Respighi’s symphonic tone peom Pina di Roma.
