The Hercules Hall was originally the throne room of Louis I and was built as a concert hall after its reconstruction. It served as a replacement for Klenze’s Odeon, which was also destroyed. Until the opening of the Philharmonie am Gasteig, it was the most important concert hall in Munich. Its name comes from the tapestries depicting the Hercules saga commissioned by Duke Albrecht V in 1556.

New years concert: From Mozart to the Viennese Waltz

We invite you on a musical journey that spans the clarity of Viennese Classicism, the jazz-infused colors of American Impressionism, and the lively charm of the Viennese waltz.

The program opens with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Piano Concerto in E-flat Major, No. 14, KV 449. This work of the high Classical period combines virtuosic piano passages with rich orchestral textures and rhythmic elegance. Mozart achieves a perfect balance between solo brilliance and orchestral dialogue. The lyrical themes, clear melodies, and dynamic interplay between piano and orchestra make the concerto both lively and elegant. Listen closely to the delicate conversations between soloist and ensemble, especially in the first movement, which captivates with lightness and musical wit.

The journey then moves across the Atlantic with George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, an iconic piece that fuses jazz, classical, and swing. The rhapsody opens with the instantly recognizable clarinet glissando and unfolds with vibrant rhythms and colorful orchestration, evoking the spirit of 1920s New York. Pay attention to the jazzy syncopations and the flowing transitions between lyrical passages and rhythmically driving virtuosity.

The evening concludes with the timeless works of Johann Strauss II. First, the overture to Die Fledermaus sparkles with wit, elegance, and virtuoso orchestral writing, capturing the comic charm of the opera. Next comes the beloved Viennese waltz The Blue Danube, a musical symbol of the Danube and the joyful spirit of Vienna. Finally, Strauss’ lively polkas such as Tritsch-Tratsch and Pizzicato display his mastery of rhythm, melody, and orchestral color, leaving the audience cheerful and exhilarated.

This program offers a rich journey through styles, moods, and eras: from Mozart’s classical refinement, through Gershwin’s American jazz flair, to the carefree joy of the Viennese waltz. Each composition tells its own story, brings emotion vividly to life, and combines technical brilliance with unmistakable character.
