The return of the muses under Frederick William II

Songs and chamber music by Beethoven, Righini and Reichardt with the Wunderkammer Ensemble

Wunderkammer Ensemble

With the accession to power of Frederick William II in 1787 as successor to "Old Fritz", culture in Prussia experienced a new heyday. As a lover of chamber music, numerous composers dedicated their works to the monarch, who himself played the cello, including Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. Opera also experienced an immense upswing and the repertoire was adapted to the latest tastes.

In its three-part concert series sponsored by the Berlin Senate, the "Wunderkammer" ensemble gives an insight into the musical life of this king's time with two chamber music concerts (August 7 - Mendelsohn-Remise, September 15 - Schönhausen Palace) and a large orchestral concert with opera excerpts (September 1 - EMA Church).
