Camerata Zurich & Esther Hoppe in Vitznau

Works from different eras that are at peace with themselves, but also unfold contrasting energies.

Esther Hoppe opens her first season as Artistic Director of Camerata Zürich with this program. The opening program combines works from different eras that are at peace with each other, but also unfold contrasting energies. Othmar Schoeck's "Summer Night" paints an impressionistic picture of sound full of restraint. Mozart's Violin Concerto KV 219 - the so-called "Turkish" - is one of the most idiosyncratic and surprising concertos in the repertoire. Heinz Holliger's short miniature "Eisblumen" brings a precise and fragile sound surface to the center. The program concludes with Dvořák's Serenade for Strings, a work full of movement, tension and formal clarity. With this program, Esther Hoppe builds a first programmatic bridge between classical, romantic and contemporary music - an approach that will shape her artistic signature in the years to come.
