Entfernte Verwandte – Chamber Music Hall At Kartäuserwall, Cologne

About this event

“Entfernte Verwandte” is the program title for a chamber-music pairing of two late-Romantic string sextets presented by the Gürzenich-Orchester Köln in the Kammermusiksaal am Kartäuserwall. The title, German for “Distant Relatives,” frames the two works as stylistic kin despite more than a generation separating their composers: the Danish national-romantic Niels Wilhelm Gade and the Hungarian late-Romantic Ernst von Dohnányi. Both are 19th‑century figures whose careers opened in different cultural centers, and the program invites comparison of two national traditions within the shared medium of the string sextet.
