Teodor Currentzis' new project »Utopia« brings together soloists and concertmasters from orchestras all over the world to form an ensemble. It sees itself as a »unique creative community of like-minded people dedicated to the search for the best sound and the true spirit of the musical work«. »We are entering a more experimental field [...], renouncing the familiar and venturing into the new,« says Currentzis. The multinational ensemble made its Konzerthaus debut in October 2022. The works that the Utopia Chamber Music Ensemble will perform on 10 June are still a surprise, but you can certainly look forward to refreshingly new interpretations as well as maximum joy and musical passion; the framework will be a journey through music history into the 20th century with composers such as Benjamin Britten and Iannis Xenakis.
