A couple of decades ago, the television broadcast a series by Leonard Bernstein, entitled ’Concerts for the Young’. He himself conducted the concerts in question, reciting his thoughts about the work in question in an interesting, funny and attention-grabbing way before the performance of each piece. He convinced thousands that the not-so-serious enjoyment of the so-called classical music does not presuppose musical studies, only some attention; and in exchange it gives immense joy. The Palace o...f Arts aims to achieve a similar target through its now-traditional series. Every nation has in its traditional fairy stories heroes who manage to vanquish their evil adversaries through a mixture of quick wits, courage and superb humour. And even if they don't score a conventional victory then they do at least make their opponents seem ridiculous. In German speaking lands, the figure that best embodies this prototype is Till Eulenspiegel. In his orchestral work, Richard Strauss tells his story in the form of a symphonic poem. In our concert, we will hear the story and the music of individual sections and also see illustrations by artists projected via slides. In the second half, we can hear the entire work without interruption.
