Clarinet Quartets at the Lehmbruck Museum: Sound Art Between Bach, Tango, and Queen
On Thursday, January 28, 2027, the Lehmbruck Museum in Duisburg will be transformed into an extraordinary concert hall. Christoph Schneider, Philipp Epstein, Ramona Katzenberger, and Andreas Reinhard will present a versatile chamber music program that combines classical clarinet literature with jazz, tango, and pop.
When the Clarinet Starts to Swing
The center of the evening features a surprising mix of works. In Alec Templeton's Bach Goes to Town, the seriousness of a baroque fugue meets lively jazz and mischievous rhythmic twists. The precise synchronization of the four musicians allows every line to emerge vividly.
Virtuosity with Bite and Elegance
Joseph Horovitz challenges the ensemble with variations full of technical difficulties. Timbres shift between brilliant highs, warm mid-range, and sonorous bass. Christoph Schneider, Philipp Epstein, Ramona Katzenberger, and Andreas Reinhard utilize the entire expressive palette of their instruments, presenting the concert with great stage performance.
Argentinian Fire and Great Melodies
Astor Piazzolla's three dances bring Argentinian passion, dance accents, and melancholic tension into the museum space. Afterwards, Queen's legendary Bohemian Rhapsody receives a new chamber music perspective: operatic gestures, balladic melodies, and hard rock energy are presented anew in the orchestrated sound of the clarinets.
A Concert Between Museum and Music History
The program connects works by Ferenc, Horovitz, Avni, Handel, Templeton, Piazzolla, and Queen. This creates a concert experience that links historical forms, modern sound language, and popular music history. The special acoustics of the Lehmbruck Museum enhance the immediate character of the chamber music.
The museum opens half an hour before the concert begins. Visitors can expect a varied evening with demanding orchestration, fine conducting without a conductor, and a lively audience atmosphere amidst significant sculptural art. Those who wish to experience clarinet music in unusual sound worlds should discover this concert live.
