Robert Kahn and Brahms: An Emotional Chamber Music Evening in Schwerin
On Friday, October 16, 2026, the concert evening Idyll and Exile in the Golden Hall of the Neustädtisches Palais combines musical discovery and personal remembrance. The Bawandi Trio presents works by Robert Kahn and Johannes Brahms, while Reinhard Wulfhorst introduces his book about the Jewish composer and his years in Mecklenburg's Feldberg.
Forgotten Sound World, Newly Discovered
At the center is Robert Kahn, a student and companion of Johannes Brahms, whose music long disappeared from public consciousness after Nazi persecution. Excerpts from his piano cycle Diary in Tones and the Clarinet Trio in G Minor, Op. 45, open up access to a finely nuanced late-Romantic sound language.
Brahms as a Musical Reference Point
With Johannes Brahms' Clarinet Trio in A Minor, Op. 114, Kahn's work meets its significant artistic reference point. The instrumentation of clarinet, cello, and piano thrives on chamber music balance, inner tension, and precise synchronization. The Bawandi Trio shapes this music with Patrick Hollich on clarinet, Alexandre Castro-Balbi on cello, and Mario Häring on piano.
Music History in the Golden Hall
Reinhard Wulfhorst, author of Idyll and Exile, sheds light on Kahn's years in his Feldberg home and the subsequent exile. Thus, a concert format emerges that does not require orchestration and stage performance to achieve a great impact: the concentrated acoustics of chamber music meet a biographical narrative that makes the historical background audible and understandable.
An Evening Between Beauty and Remembrance
The juxtaposition of Kahn and Brahms leads from lyrical intimacy to powerful late-Romantic concentration. Between clarinet tones, warm cello tone, and the supporting piano part, a special live atmosphere develops. The audience experiences a concert experience that combines musical rediscovery with cultural responsibility.
Conclusion
Idyll and Exile promises an intense evening for lovers of classical music, chamber music, and moving music history. Those wishing to get to know Robert Kahn and experience Brahms in direct performance will find a concert evening of special depth in the Golden Hall. Mark your calendars now and experience the music live in Schwerin.
