In the heart of the action

Klosters Music presents a family concert for the first time in the old school building – the "Carnival of the Animals". Camille Saint-Saëns composed the "Carnival of the Animals" with a house concert in mind. The "great zoological fantasy", as he humorously called this work for instrumental ensemble and two pianos.

At the beginning, a big bang: a single, cutting note in the whole orchestra, which is further hardened by the timpani roll. Then muted strings intensify the uncertainty with chromaticism and dissonance. "The description of chaos" is what Joseph Haydn called the effective beginning of his three-part oratorio "The Creation".
