Less is more! Celebrating the world of small ensembles

Not every piece needs a full orchestra. Sometimes scaling things down creates a closer connection and a different kind of energy. From duos and trios to quartets and chamber groups, this week we celebrate the richness of music written for smaller forces, with sounds from the stage and artists visiting the Philharmonie this month.
