On this concert evening, the mdw’s Exilarte Center dedicates itself to the impressive string sextet by the Austrian composer Marcel Tyberg (1893-1944).
Gerold Gruber will lead through the program and place the work in its musical and historical context.
Tyberg, originally from Vienna, later lived and worked as an organist and conductor in Abbazia (now Opatija, Croatia). Despite growing repression under National Socialism, he continued to compose and gave his musical manuscripts to a friend – shortly before he was deported to Auschwitz in 1944 and murdered there. His music, long lost, is now experiencing a belated rediscovery. Alongside symphonies and sacred music, the string sextet, now performed in its entirety for the first time in Vienna, is one of his central chamber music works.
