Folkwang Kammerorchester Essen / Sebastian Manz

• Classical Music

At the centre of this concert evening are works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, interpreted by renowned artists and an orchestra that has dedicated itself to the spirit of the composer like no other. The award-winning clarinettist Sebastian Manz, internationally renowned for his virtuosity and emotional depth, presents Mozart’s immortal Clarinet Concerto in A major. This masterpiece, characterised by floating lightness and soulful melody, is one of the most important concerts of classical music and promises an evening full of inspiration.



Manz will be accompanied by the Folkwang Chamber Orchestra Essen, which is known for its energetic, innovative programmes and high musical quality. Founded 67 years ago and deeply rooted in the city of Essen and the Folkwang spirit, the orchestra under the direction of Johannes Klumpp has steadily expanded its profile as a leading Mozart interpreter. Previous recordings of Mozart’s symphonies and concertos have been highly praised by the specialist press and underline the ensemble’s outstanding expertise.
