Herkules Hall of the Munich Residence

J.Strauß: „Fledermaus“-Ouverture
Beethoven: Symphony Nr. 8 F-Dur
Chopin: Piano Concert Nr. 2 f-moll

Andreas Skouras - Piano & Residence-Soloists

Be there when the brilliant, emotional piano concerto no. 2 by young Frederic Chopin is interpreted by the pianist Andreas Skouras. The resident soloists also offer Beethoven's serene Symphony No. 8. After the dramatic Titans, such as Master's Symphony No. 3 and Symphony No. 5, they are a true contrast to the joy of life. The composer Hector Berlioz felt this music at first hearing as a "joke that fell from the sky." Also the funny "Bat" -Ouverture by J.Strauß will be heard.

The Herkulessaal was originally the throne room of Ludwig I and after the reconstruction it was used as a concert hall. Up to the opening of the philharmonic concert hall in the Gasteig, it was the most important concert hall in Munich. It has received the name from the wall carpets which shows the Herkuleslegend and was ordered by Herzog Albrecht V in 1556.
