Let the flowers speak! Clara's Flower Album' is the beautiful theme of the Musikverein Festival 2025 - and we are prominently involved with our choir concert. In the first part of a blossoming programme specially conceived for the Festival, we present a bouquet of fantastic choral works by Boulanger, Franck, Debussy and Fauré. The second part is a fairytale with a rarely heard, enchanting work by Robert Schumann: 'The Pilgrimage of the Rose'. We are joined by Justus Zeyen at the piano and six outstanding vocal soloists.
