When the violinist Ingolf Turban was first concertmaster of the Munich Philharmonic in the 1980s, the conductor Sergiu Celibidache is said to have underscored his appreciation with the following quip: “I’m Celi and you’re Turbi.” Well, Turban, who was born in Munich in 1964 and lives in the Stockdorf district of Gauting, left the orchestra again after a few years, became a busy and internationally recognized solo artist and later became a professor at various music schools. This Sunday, May 22nd, the renowned violinist and the pianist Tomoko Sawallisch from Japan will be giving a benefit concert at the Kupferhaus Planegg, starting at 7 p.m. “Hellishly virtuosic and heavenly beautiful” is how the 58-year-old captioned the program for this evening. Works by Schubert, Beethoven, Franck and Pablo de Sarasate will be heard.
The organizer of the concert is the Rotary Club Gauting-Würmtal, in cooperation with Kulturforum Planegg. Tickets in advance are available from, among others, www.muenchenticket.dein the Planegg town hall and also at the box office.
