Guest concert by the Münster University of Music Symphony Orchestra

The symphony orchestra of the University of Münster's College of Music, under the direction of artistic director and conductor Marlon Daniel, will give a guest concert on Monday 24 June at 18:00 in the Ev. Christuskirche in Bocholt and offer an exhilarating evening of music.

The concert will begin with Smetana's poignant tone poem "Šárka", commemorating the bicentenary of the composer's birth. The piece describes the legendary warrior from Czech folklore and takes the audience on an exciting journey through love, betrayal and revenge, vividly told through a bold orchestration. The renowned soprano Jennifer Forni then joins the orchestra to perform Richard Strauss' much-loved "Vier letzte Lieder". With her warm and luminous voice, Forni delivers a captivating performance of these poignant songs, each rich in lyrical beauty and emotional depth. Finally, experience the timeless brilliance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92, premiered in 1813 to great acclaim and showing Beethoven at the height of his creative powers. Folk-inspired melodies merge with electrifying rhythms to create a masterpiece that has been celebrated as one of his best works for more than 200 years.

Admission is free, donations in favour of the orchestra's work are requested.
