„The Expedition Concerts are about the pure joy of listening. We approach the great masterpieces of classical music from different directions, listen in on details, combine background stories and anecdotes with musical discoveries and take the listeners on this journey,“ is how Joana Mallwitz describes the format. She first shares her enthusiasm at the piano, then she moves to the conductor's podium of the Konzerthausorchester. Together, they perform the entire work - in this case Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s "Italian” symphony, which is inspired by his travel impressions.
