A squad of virtuoso soloists from Teodor Currentzis' new orchestra project Utopia can be experienced in the Mozart Hall: The Utopia Chamber Music Ensemble interprets compositions from recent music history. In doing so, it creates a sometimes orchestral sound in a chamber music setting. Impressionist works such as Ravel's »Trois poèmes de Stéphane Mallarmé«, a composition from Stravinsky's neoclassically influenced creative phase as well as Xenakis' »Okho« from 1989 are performed. The ensemble takes a look into the 21st century with a work by contemporary Alexey Retinsky, among others.
