Finale

Beginner's Guide – We round off the festival with simply fabulous music. A last glimpse from our festival composer, heart-warming songs by Schumann and a piece by Bartok that was written for the legendary jazz clarinetist, Benny Goodman. Mendelssohn´s Octet stands in many ways for itself. Written when he was just 16 years old, this is half an hour of pure exuberance. We expect the roof to lift!
