Ten HarrisonParrott artists & orchestras perform at Salzburg Festival 2024
Patricia Kopatchinskaja headlines the festival with two concerts on 20 July and 23 August.
For the first, she joins forces with Camerata Salzburg to perform Hartmann’s thought-provoking Concerto funebre. Composed in 1939 as a response to the Nazi terror, this piece, originally titled Music of Mourning, serves as a poignant reminder of the horrors of war.
Further ahead, Kopatchinskaja presents Kurtág’s Kafka Fragments together with soprano Anna Prohaska, a cycle that weaves together a tapestry of over three dozen absurdly sarcastic and enigmatic fragmented miniatures.
