It was Stefan Zweig who once put the words (uncontradicted) into Richard Strauss’s mouth that »anyone who wants to become a real musician must be able to set a menu to music.« Well, while Strauss may not have composed a piece about a three-course meal, he did write a wonderfully ironic homage to Vienna’s traditional coffeehouses with his ballet »Schlagobers«. This is the starting point for a cheerful musical exploration of the Austrian capital, its cafés and bars, its waltzes and melodies by both Richard and Johann Strauss – who, by the way, were not related to one another by blood or marriage. Under the baton of Thomas Leo Cadenbach, the members of the Junges Ensemble will take us on a journey into a »bar of unimagined musical possibilities«.
