New European Ensemble + Maria Milstein - Schönberg & Padding
A tribute to 150-year-old innovator Schönberg in Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ. In 2024 it will be 150 years since the great music innovator Arnold Schönberg was born. The New European Ensemble celebrates this with two of Schönberg's own works and a new composition by Martijn Padding. The title that Padding chose, 'Ma vie en couleurs', commemorates that Schönberg was also a talented expressionist painter. The NEuE will play an ensemble arrangement by Henk Guittart of the notoriously difficult 'Violin Concerto', with Maria Milstein as soloist.

Violin Concerto
Schönberg composed his Violin Concerto in 1936 in America, where he had fled after the Nazis seized power. Like many works from that first period in the US, it sounds quite tonal, although Schönberg did indeed use his famous twelve-tone technique, in which there is no fundamental tone. One of the first works that Schönberg constructed entirely according to a twelve-tone series was the Serenade (1921-1923). Nice detail: the Serenade was also the very first piece that the NEuE performed.
