The event

The concert, titled «75 anni - Una Storia per il Futuro», brings together two young ensembles formed in advanced training programs: the Karajan Akademie in Berlin, founded by Herbert von Karajan in 1972 and tied to the Berlin Philharmonic, and Santa Cecilia's Corsi di Perfezionamento, which the Quartetto Eos comes from. The event is organized with the German Embassy for the 75th anniversary of the resumption of diplomatic relations between Italy and Germany.

The program opens with Puccini's «Crisantemi», played by the Karajan Akademie Quartet. Next comes Schumann's Quartet no. 1 in A minor op. 41, performed by the Quartetto Eos. In the finale the two groups join forces for Mendelssohn's String Octet in E-flat major op. 20, written when the composer was sixteen.
