Programm 1
In der ersten Hälfte des Programms präsentieren wir Komponisten in großer Unruhe – Robert Kahn, Pavel Haas und Jane Vignery haben unter der Herrschaft der Nationalsozialisten gelitten. Während Robert Kahns Musik sich vor der Ungerechtigkeit der Welt in die Romantik zurück flüchtet, bekommt dieser Eskapismus im Schlusssatz von Jane Vignerys Sonate Risse, die im Hilfeschrei von Haas‘ Suite, seinem letzten vollendeten Werk vor seiner Deportierung nach Theresienstadt, gipfeln. Dazu im Kontrast steht das Reinecke-Trio in der zweiten Hälfte als fragiles Hoffen auf das Wirken von Musik für eine bessere Welt.

Trio Ariadne "Schilflieder" - Trio Oboe, Horn und Klavier
"Schilflieder" – Trio Oboe, Horn, Klavier
Myriam Navarri, Oboe
Thomas Mittler, Horn
Josefa Schmidt, Klavier
Program excerpts from:
August Klughardt, Schilflieder op. 28
Robert Schumann, Fantasiestücke op. 73, Spanisches Liederspiel op. 74
Max Bruch, Acht Stücke op. 83
Clara Schumann, Drei Romanzen op. 22
The Trio Ariadne consists of three young talented musicians who receive support from the German Music Council. They are learning how to plan and organize their own concerts while simultaneously gaining stage experience. Not that they lack it; each member has already participated in a series of competitions, performances as soloists and in orchestras, as well as at music festivals.
In this program, they dedicate themselves to German Romanticism both in music and poetry. The inspiration for this is August Klughardt's "Schilflieder," op. 28, based on the eponymous cycle of poems by Nikolaus Lenau, originally composed for Oboe, Viola, and Piano. Lenau's poems will be combined with pieces of romantic chamber music to particularly highlight the tonal closeness of the Oboe and Horn to the human voice.

Trio Cyrene - "Come again, sweet Love"
Seductively beautiful voices!
The Trio Cyrene brings together three outstanding female singers, whose individual careers have taken them to some of the most renowned opera houses and concert halls in Europe. As an ensemble, they explore the intimate beauty of Baroque vocal music alongside the timeless melodies of traditional folk songs.
Focusing on clarity, blending, and expressive storytelling, the Trio's programs are built on a unique mixture of historically informed performances and fresh, contemporary arrangements. The latter have been largely composed specifically for the ensemble. Centuries-old music feels rejuvenated – a timeless joy of singing together.
A large part of the repertoire of Trio Cyrene is performed a cappella, allowing the purity of the voices and the natural interplay between the singers to shine through. Occasionally, they are accompanied by historical instruments like the theorbo, which adds a delicate instrumental dimension to the sound.
“Your agile melodic lines, your featherlight heights, your sensitive sense of epochs and beauty of sound instantly captivated a sold-out Rococo theater.” Heidelberger Presse
Program
Songs by Henry Purcell, Reinhard Keiser, Antonio Sartorio, Barbara Strozzi, Luigi Rossi Claudio Monteverdi, John Dowland, and Jehan Chardavoine.
Folk songs from Ireland, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and America

Ariadne auf Naxos - Institut für Gesang der HMDK Stuttgart
Opera by Richard Strauss in one act with a prologue
Libretto by Hugo von Hofmannsthal based on Molière's "The Bourgeois Gentleman"
(Scenic piano version)
CONTENT
Ariadne auf Naxos tells of a double theater world: An eccentric Viennese patron decides to have a heroic opera and a turbulent comedy performed simultaneously – the ideal of "high" art collides with entertaining spectacle, while behind the scenes, composer, singers, and theater troupe struggle with profiles, vanities, and artistic truthfulness. In the actual opera, Ariadne mourns on the island of Naxos, abandoned by Theseus, and longs only for death, while Zerbinetta and her commedia dell'arte troupe amusingly assert that every love is replaceable; only with the appearance of the god Bacchus does Ariadne's despair transform into an overwhelming new beginning – from loneliness to ecstasy.
Ariadne auf Naxos emerged from the fruitful collaboration between Richard Strauss and his librettist Hugo von Hofmannsthal (1912/1916). In its refined connection of opposites, the work touches the core of what music and theater can achieve together: to make human feelings accessible in all their depth and lightness.
WORKSHOP THOUGHT
In the WERKSTATT_ARIADNE, students of the Institute of Voice at HMDK Stuttgart have been working on this opera since autumn 2025 under the direction of Prof. Christina Landshamer, first developing it in an exact musical rehearsal and subsequently deepening it together with Manfred Honeck, thereby getting to know the work with a conductor of international stature. Simultaneously, scenographer Franziska Ritter is designing the implementation as a teaching project: In several joint workshop days and individual coaching sessions, the students explore how design elements such as staging, costumes, set design, lighting, props, and even in a concert performance can be effective. The workshop thus serves as both intensive artistic training and a laboratory for new concert formats, where knowledge of dramaturgy and conceptual-spatial design is applied in a practical manner.

Antigone - im Anschluss "Theater trifft..." Dr. Georg Feuerbach
ANTIGONE
by Sophocles
Translated by Peter Krumme
Featuring: Philipp Dürschmied, Bineta Hansen, Julia Sylvester, Malte Sylvester and a choir
Directed by: Julius Max Ferstl
Set design: Ana Tasić
Dramaturgy: Tina Brüggemann
DJ / Sound Producer: Paralyzed (Philip Lörincz)
Antigone's brother Polyneices and Eteocles have plunged Thebes into war and both have fallen in a duel for the throne. The city is threatened to sink into chaos, but her uncle Creon takes over the rule and is determined to enforce (his) democratic order. While Eteocles is honorably buried, Polyneices, who turned against his own city in the war, is to remain as a warning before the city gates. But Antigone mourns both brothers and decides to bury Polyneices despite the warning of her sister Ismene. With resolute self-evidence and ready to bear the necessary consequences, she places her value system above Creon's regime. Even Haemon, her beloved and Creon's son, cannot mediate between the two fronts. The conflict divides the entire city and demands further sacrifices.
Sophocles was born in 497 or 496 BC in Colonus (now: Athens) and is, alongside Euripides and Aeschylus, one of the three great poets of Greek classical antiquity. He wrote about 123 plays in total, of which only seven have survived, and which are among the most frequently performed tragedies in world literature. He was very successful during his lifetime and held various high state offices. Sophocles wrote “Antigone” in 442 BC. In the same year, he was appointed as a strategist of Athens alongside Pericles.

Trio Ariadne: Große Unruhe & Fragiles Hoffen
The Trio Ariadne is a young, high-caliber ensemble. This lineup featuring Myriam Navarri (Oboe), Thomas Mittler (Horn), and Josefa Schmidt (Piano) is one you don't hear every day, but there is much wonderful music to discover! "The instruments that sound the most beautiful are the hardest to master," Nikolaus Harnoncourt often said – referring to the Oboe and the Horn. The piano unites these two human voices into a whole that can emotionally move.
In the first half of their program, the trio presents composers in great unrest – Robert Kahn, Pavel Haas, and Jane Vignery suffered under the rule of the National Socialists. While Robert Kahn's music retreats into Romanticism in the face of the world's injustice, this escapism is torn apart in the final movement of Jane Vignery’s sonata, culminating in the cry for help of Haas’ suite, his last completed work before his deportation to Theresienstadt.
In contrast, the Reinecke Trio in the second half stands as a fragile hope for the impact of music for a better world.
Program:
Robert Kahn (1865-1951)
Serenade for Oboe, Horn, and Piano in F Minor, Op. 73
Jane Vignery (1913-1974)

Arielle, die kleine Meerjungfrau - Familienmusical-Premiere
Arielle, die kleine Meerjungfrau
a play for big and small children based on the story by Hans Christian Andersen by Jan Bodinus with music by Stefan Hiller
Actually, Arielle, the little mermaid, is forbidden to swim to the surface of the sea. But her desire to see humans is so strong that she opposes her father Triton's ban, the king of the seas. Her friend Flippi cannot stop her either. When she sees the handsome prince Eric on board his ship at the surface of the sea, she falls hopelessly in love with him. Arielle has to watch as the ship gets caught in a heavy storm. Without hesitation, she saves Eric from certain death. Arielle's love for Eric is so strong that she decides to become a human to always be able to be with him. The evil and treacherous sea witch Hydra promises help, but in return demands Arielle's beautiful voice. Courageously, she trades her fish tail for human legs. However, she only has three days to receive the kiss of true love from Eric to become a human forever; otherwise, she will be lost forever and turned into sea foam.
Eric is very taken with Arielle, but his true love belongs to the voice of his savior. Then the evil Hydra appears and claims to have saved the prince, but he can only remember the lovely voice of Arielle after his shipwreck... In the end, there is a loving couple that will harmonize the different creatures of the underwater world and the earth, and of course, a big party with dancing and music.
