Festival Kammermusik Bodensee: Wanderer between the worlds
Do you know Paul Juon? A traveling exhibition, which will also make a stop at LILIENBERG during the Festival Kammermusik Bodensee, is entitled "Paul Juon - Graubünden Composer from Moscow - Born Late, Forgotten Early, Rediscovered". On the occasion of Paul Juon's 150th birthday in the music year 2022, his fascinating music forms the common thread of the festival program. In each concert program, music by this great Swiss composer will enter into a dialogue with works by Mozart, Beethoven, Schumann and Tchaikovsky that are rich in relationships, right up to a world premiere by the French-Swiss composer Richard Dubugnon, who will also be playing the double bass in this concert. The concert features a wide variety of instrumentations, from duo and trio to sextet and octet.
Paul Juon is a wanderer between worlds, both in terms of his life between Moscow, Berlin and Switzerland and with his music, in which he finds an increasingly independent tonal language, starting from late Romanticism. At the same time, his deep roots in Russian musical culture remain audible and perceptible in all of his works, even after he had long since lived far away from the land of his youth in Berlin.
The festival's motto "Wanderer between the Worlds" is also audible in other works, such as a new piano sextet by Richard Dubugnon, which contains reminiscences of Juon in addition to his personal contemporary tonal language, or in Mikhail Glinka's Trio Pathétique, in which impressions of his trip to Italy flow, or in the "Transfigured Night" by Arnold Schoenberg, a highly expressive early work that was composed before his break with tonality and hovers between the worlds of late Romanticism and dissolving tonality. The Festival Kammermusik Bodensee 2022 wants to trace these wanderers - and as always with first-class international musicians.
As part of the festival's traditional commitment to young talent, there will be a workshop for violin on Friday and Saturday that is open to the public and free to attend. The Young Talents Matinee on Sunday morning will feature young violinists in concert alongside talents from the region. On Sunday afternoon, there will also be a panel discussion about Paul Juon and a guided tour of the exhibition.
Traditionally, LILIENBERG offers an arrangement during the festival with overnight stay in the guest rooms, breakfast and use of the indoor swimming pool and sauna. In addition, after the concerts, the high quality gastronomy will entice you to round off your musical enjoyment with culinary delights.
