'No Trout Quintet Today' but the Farrenc Quintet live stream 11 December

[Wheesht]

During lockdown in Austria, Pforte Feldkirch have created a new production that will be shown as a live stream:

Pantomime director Lionel Ménard and Pforte director Klaus Christa have developed twelve short scenes that are interwoven and culminate in a performance by the Farrenc Piano Quintet. The musicians of the Ensemble Farrenc with Mayumi Kanagawa (violin), Klaus Christa (viola), Mathias Johansen (violoncello), Dominik Wagner (double bass) and Katya Apekisheva (piano) act both making music and performing on stage. The play is about a caretaker of an apartment building in Vienna's Nussdorferstraße 54, the birthplace of Franz Schubert, who regrets that the residents of his house are no longer in contact with each other and are only busy with their mobile phones. He sets himself the goal of freeing the residents from their loneliness and bringing them back together.

This will be available as a free live stream on Saturday 11 December at 5 pm CET on the Pforte website. More information, in German, here
