After the "newer sounds" of the past semester, the Paderborn University Orchestra will be presenting a classical programme with music by Bach, Fauré and Beethoven under the direction of its conductor Steffen Schiel in the 2024 winter concerts. The concerts in the university's Audimax on Monday 29 and Wednesday 31 January will both begin at 8 pm. Admission costs 10 euros, but is free for students and pupils. A ticket is still required. Reservations can be made at the University Service Centre (tel. 05251-605298), tickets are also available in advance from the Ticket Centre at Königsplatz 10 (tel. 05251-29975) and, depending on availability, at the box office in the evening.
"The Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major by Johann Sebastian Bach is one of the best-known pieces by the great Baroque composer; the slow "Air" in particular is world-famous and has become the basis for countless arrangements. The second piece on the concert programme, the suite "Pelléas et Mélisande", was originally written by Gabriel Fauré as incidental music for a play, but he quickly reworked the music into an orchestral suite. In doing so, he demonstrates great mastery of orchestration and gives his impressive melodies and abruptly changing sound scenarios additional emotional depth," says Schiel. Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 1 rounds off the concert programme.
