Info for Vienna 1913

The years between 1900 and 1914 are perhaps among the most exciting in European music history. It was during these years that what is now commonly referred to as musical modernism emerged. It is the time when the great European "schools" of the musical avant-garde take shape in Paris, Berlin, St. Petersburg and especially in Vienna, and when music fans out into a variety of aesthetics, styles and genres that are reflected in the set of terms we use today to try to get to grips with the art of this era: Impressionism, Expressionism, Art Nouveau, Neoclassicism, Folklorism, Late Romanticism / Post-Romanticism, Symbolism, etc. The programme selection is grouped around two works written in Vienna in 1913, in this "summer of the century" (Florian Illies) that ends the long 19th century and heralds the dark 20th century: Alban Berg's Four Pieces for Clarinet and Piano op. 5 and Egon Kornauth's Sonata for Clarinet and Piano. It is the year of scandalous premieres: Schönberg's Gurrelieder, Berg's Altenberlieder, Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps, but also the less scandalous ones of Debussy's Images pour Orchestre, Reger's Toteninsel, Sibelius Luonnotar, de Falla's La vida breve and Strauss's Festliches Präludium.

Kilian Herold, clarinet
Hansjacob Staemmler, piano

Kilian Herold
belongs to Germany's most sought after clarinet players. After studying in Berlin, Chicago and Hannover, he won the audition for Principal Clarinet of the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen in 2004, at the young age of 23. In addition, he became in 2011 the new Principal Clarinet of the SWR Radio Symphony Orchestra of Baden-Baden and Freiburg.

Ever since then, his fine playing has been featured on many CD and DVD recordings made by that renowned chamber orchestra (for instance , the Beethoven and Schumann symphony cycles with Paavo Järvi), and also in their live performances in Germany and abroad.

As solo clarinetist he is often invited to play with some of the mostrenowned orchestras including the Berlin Philharmonic, the Bavaria Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Dresden Staatskapelle, the WDR Symphony Orchestra, in collaboration with conductors such as Paavo Järvi, Daniel Harding, Theodor Currentzis, Christoph Eschenbach, Herbert Blomstedt, Francois Xavier Roth and Valerie Gergiev. His impassioned chamber music and solo performances have thrilled festival audiences at Rheingau Music Festival, Schleswig-Holstein and the Baden-Baden International Brahms Festival, along with further recitals all over Europe, in South America, India and Japan.

Kilian Herold has appeared as soloist with orchestras like the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, SWR Symphony Orchestra and Istanbul Devlet Symphony Orchestra playing the clarinet concertos by Mozart, Weber and Nielsen.

In autumn 2012 his new CD with works by Brahms and Comtemporaries recorded with pianist Amir Katz was released by Avi-Music. In 2017 a new CD project with works by Hungarian composer Matyas Seiber together with German soprano Sarah Maria Sun was released.

In April 2016 Kilian Herold was appointed the new clarinet professor at the Musikhochschule Freiburg / Freiburg University of Music.

He is teaching regularly at masterclasses and festivals. In Staufen, in the south of Germany, Kilian Herold has started his own successful clarinet festival "ClariMondo".

Hansjacob Staemmler
is Professor of Piano Chamber Music/Instrumental Correpetition at the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst in Frankfurt/ Main. Previously, he taught at the Berlin University of the Arts and at the conservatories in Freiburg/ Breisgau and Karlsruhe.

For years, the pianist has worked in a variety of ways as a soloist, chamber musician and song accompanist. At the centre of his activity is the intensive exploration of chamber music in various formations. Already during his studies, he regularly performed as a chamber music partner in the Ensemble Berlin with soloists of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Since then he has worked with renowned instrumentalists and singers in many formations of piano chamber music from duos to sextets. As a soloist he can be heard in solo recitals and orchestral concerts. New music is an important part of his repertoire; encounters with contemporary composers whose works are premiered by him are a great enrichment for his musical work. Radio productions for Deutschlandradio Kultur, Bayrischer Rundfunk, Südwestrundfunk and others document his artistic work, as do several CD recordings. As a duo with his brother Peter-Philipp Staemmler (violoncello), he was awarded the prize of the German Music Competition in 2009 and included in the Federal Selection of Concerts for Young Artists. Hansjacob Staemmler studied piano with Prof. Georg Sava at the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music in Berlin. Master classes with Daniel Barenboim and Menahem Pressler complemented his education. A decisive influence on his artistic development was exerted by the oboist Burkhard Glaetzner, with whom he realised numerous world premieres and first recordings of works by important contemporary composers. Hansjacob Staemmler is the artistic director of the concert series "Klangwerk Lied" Freiburg.
