As part of the Lake Constance Festival, the Munich Chamber Orchestra under the direction of Bas Wiegers will premiere Johannes Maria Staud's new work Stachel on 21 May.

Bas Wiegers conducts the SWR Symphony Orchestra in Stuttgart, at the ACHT BRÜCKEN festival in Cologne and in Freiburg on 8, 9, 11 and 12 May with works by Lutosławski, Saariaho and Debussy. Violinist Carolin Widmann will perform with the orchestra as a soloist.

Just before Bas Wiegers conducted his first concerts in front of a live audience in May, he sat down for an interview to reflect on the preceding Corona year.

“Now” is always different, fluid, says conductor Bas Wiegers in his essay about diversity, change, and the power of live performances.
