Tune in this winter...
A new vision on Schubert's Winterreise
The Raschèr Saxophone Quartet, singer Bernhard Hirtreiter, composer Jay Schwartz, and the Raschèr Academy Orchestra proudly present this 2022 online advent calendar premiere. Hear us breathe life into this freshly recomposed masterpiece, as it has never been experienced before. The 24 songs of Franz Schubert‘s epic “Winterreise“ Each song brought to you digitally on its corresponding December day.
Please join us here every evening at 6:00pm CET, when we unveil that date‘s corresponding video from the “Winterreise“. We will leave all videos up as we make the journey, so that one can experience the work in its entirety, for a limited time, starting on Christmas Eve.
Our warmest thanks
We are proud to announce that our digital "Adventskalender" is now completely full, with a special sponsor for each corresponding song in Schubert's epic "Winterreise". Our warmest thanks to all these amazing sponsors; you have literally made our day!
The snow freezes the body, but great music warms the very soul.
