BOULEZ ENSEMBLE

Celebrating 10 Years: Octets by Schubert and Widmann

It has been ten years since the Pierre Boulez Saal first opened its doors in March 2017! We celebrate our birthday by bringing together musicians and music that have shaped the hall’s artistic identity over the past decade. The Octets by Franz Schubert and Jörg Widmann were first heard at the Pierre Boulez Saal in its opening season. Bridging 180 years of music history, these two compositions share much more than their scoring for clarinet, bassoon, horn and strings—Widmann’s piece was written in direct response to its historical predecessor. Ten years later, it is time to revisit this extraordinary pairing.
