What sustains us

September 6, 2026, 11:00 a.m.
Opera House Foyer, Frankfurt

What might the world look like? What longing and love for nature do we carry within us?

Mahler’s Rückert-Lieder engage in a compelling dialogue with works by Wagner, Brahms, and Webern—musically, atmospherically, and thematically. Diverse perspectives on nature, memory, and tranquility intertwine with the human inner world, creating a concert evening rich in sonic depth and subtle resonances.

Donations for Orchester des Wandels will be collected during the concert.
