The ideal of a live cultural experience is a kind of sensual “self-aggrandizement experience”. That is when everything trivial, small-minded or fearful of existence is sublimated away through a special concert or theater experience, through visual or acoustic impressions.
The season begins next Monday, September 19th, in the Pullach community center with a concert that could create such an experience because of its protagonists: The Juilliard String Quartet is one of the most renowned string quartets ever, the ensemble, founded in 1949, has won four Grammys and was named in 2011 received the Grammy Award for lifetime achievement. The program (beginning at 8 p.m.) includes string quartets by Britten and Dvořák. “A world-class ensemble,” says Hannah Stegmayer, director of the community center.

She is generally in good spirits for the upcoming season. The subscription sale, which will be intensified again up to the first day of the event, has already got off to a good start. Old subscriptions were left on hold during the pandemic and have now largely been able to resume, says Stegmayer, and: “We have shown continuity and always maintained our game operations when it was possible.” Communication is important: “People feel they are being taken care of by us. We did an incredible amount of PR work.” In addition, the 2022/23 program is again characterized by high quality.
In addition to the Juilliard String Quartet, the classical section also offers the Brentano String Quartet, which enjoys a similarly excellent reputation. The jazz section can come up with the Lily Dahab Quartet (October 13) or the Daniel Karlsson Trio, in the cabaret section Piet Klocke (September 29), Urban Priol, Eva Eiselt or Luise Kinseher speak with a sharp tongue. The theater section lures with Max Frisch’s classic “Biedermann und die Brandstifter” (Theater Poetenpack, October 11) or Daniel Kehlmann’s “Die Reise der Verlorenen” (February 6), a historically inspired play about a refugee odyssey of 930 Jews on board the “Saint Louis” and a German captain who shows backbone. “It’s very spectacular, very elaborately staged,” says Stegmayer. A general attack on senses and brain.
