About this event

The 3rd Chamber Concert is part of the Opernhaus Zürich 2026/27 chamber series, featuring musicians from Philharmonia Zürich in intimate small ensembles. These concerts traditionally take place on Sunday mornings and Monday evenings in the Spiegelsaal (Mirror Hall). This programme spotlights the unusual scoring of wind quintet plus piano, presenting three works for the same ensemble. Ludwig Thuille’s Sextet in B-flat major, Op. 6—one of the best-known pieces for this combination—blends late-Romantic lyricism with contrapuntal craftsmanship. Paul Juon’s Divertimento, Op. 51 offers a lighter, playful contrast that still demands virtuosity from all six players. Theodor Blumer’s Sextet in B-flat major, Op. 21 completes the evening, inviting comparison with Thuille’s approach to the same instrumental palette.
