Karajan-Akademie of the Berliner Philharmoniker: University Musical Society
This concert, part of a weeklong U-M campus residency, features musician-scholars from the Karajan-Akademie, which trains musicians for the superb Philharmoniker. They are joined by Berliner Philharmoniker principal second violinist Christophe Hórak and principal clarinetist Wenzel Fuchs. The program features Beethoven’s lighthearted Septet in E-Flat Major, Shostakovich’s Prelude and Scherzo for String Octet, and Bartók’s Divertimento for String Orchestra, a work of elegant neoclassicism written on the brink of World War II. Also, Julia Wolfe’s 2015 French Canadian folk-inspired “Reeling.” 7:30 p.m. Rackham Auditorium. Tickets $44–$83 ($15–$20 students) in advance at tickets.ums.org, at the Michigan League, and (if available) at the door. (734) 764–2538.
