A hundred-year road trip through time and place to three cities that shaped Europe’s musical landscape.

CARL ORFF arr. WANEK Carmina Burana (1938)

How did a collection of 13th century medieval poems become one of the greatest hits of 20th century classical music? Maybe it has something to do with the universal themes of desire, fate and going to the pub.

CARL REINECKE Octet (1892)

Bubbly, lyrical, vivacious and romantic. Oh, and spectacular.

ALFRED UHL Drei Tanzstücke (1985)

Imagine the Mona Lisa, painted by Picasso. You know it’s a woman, but it’s daring and modern. That’s Uhl’s music - deeply reverent to classical forms and traditions, dressed with contemporary harmonies.
