The Festival of Croatian Musicians in Vienna has been promoting the Croatian concert scene for two decades and will continue this tradition in 2024. With an appealing and carefully put together program it will once again delight its loyal Viennese audience.
On the occasion of this important anniversary, the renowned Zagreb soloists will appear in the Musikverein’s Brahms Hall and play a work by Marcel Tyberg, a composer whose estate recently arrived at the mdw’s Exilarte Center.
Marcel Tyberg (1893–1944) was an Austrian composer, conductor and organist. In 1927 Marcel Tyberg moved with his mother from Vienna to Abbazia, now Opatija in Croatia. In Croatia he became an important church musician and conductor. Faced with the threat of persecution, he entrusted his catalog of works to a friend, but was soon arrested and deported to Auschwitz, where he was murdered on December 31, 1944. Despite his persecution by the Nazi regime, he left behind important compositions, including symphonies, piano sonatas and liturgical music.
On the program:
Marcel Tyberg: Sextet in F minor – 5th movement
Artists:
Ensemble Zagreb soloists
