5.00 pm, Concert in the Anhaltische Theater Dessau

„Fairground music – Paris Mécanique“
Sabine Meyer and friends

Clarinet / Basset horn: Sabine Meyer and Wolfgang Meyer
Clarinet: Michael Riessler Basset horn: Reiner Wehle
Barrel organ: Pierre Charial


She is one of the few true superstars which German classical music has brought forth in the past decades. Enjoying extraordinary acclaim throughout the world for many years, her fame is shared by only a select group of artists. It certainly cannot be denied: Sabine Meyer is a unique performer and an exceptional artist. And even if she is better known to the general public through her work with Herbert von Karajan, and the scandal that ensued when the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra refused to allow such a wonderful female clarinettist onto its ranks, Sabine Meyer made clear through her participation in the Deutsche Musikwettbewerb of 1979 that the clarinet, an instrument so often overlooked, had gained a new and captivating advocate. Her career since then is a story of packed concert halls and prize-winning recordings.

Now, „Paris Mécanique“ will reaffirm the wonderful range and diversity of Sabine Meyer's musical interests. Together with the Trio di Clarone, the barrel-organ playing of Pierre Charial and clarinettist Michael Riessler, a programme has been created which brilliantly conjures up the magic and acoustical richness of the metropolis that is Paris. Naturally, the „Danses Exotiques“ by Jean Francais or the amazing „Scaramouche“ by Weill's friend Darius Milhaud are at the heart of this programme. But also the film music of Ennio Morricone, Scott Joplin's „Solas“ or Leroy Anderson's „Jazz Pizzicato“ will help turn the concert into a real festival highlight.
