With Carmen Konopka (actor) and Hannah Schareck (director)

An engineer who builds pianos in the 19th century. Nannette tells the life story of Nannette Streicher, who became one of the most famous piano makers of her time thanks to her skill and ability as an engineer and businesswoman. The piece also honours the influence she had on the music of one of the most important composers of the Classical and Romantic periods: Ludwig van Beethoven.

With Quatour Zaïde, Mireia Coma Casellas (violin), and Eleanor Kendra James (viola)

When it comes to songs, we think directly of the lyrics. But if there is no text, an infinite number of new possible meanings arise for the song. The famous songs without words by Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn express this through their extremely sensitive and melodic musical language. With their songs, the Mendelssohn siblings offer the audience a unique, personal approach to music and an insight into their relationship with each other in a similar yet very different way.
