Classical music that inspires: From Bach to Tchaikovsky on Christmas Eve!
A very special evening for music lovers will take place in Vienna on December 24, 2025. Under the title “From Bach to Tchaikovsky”, the talented musicians Maine Nishiyama (violin), Zhiyu Zhang (cello) and Riito Shimata (piano) present a varied concert that takes listeners on a musical journey through different eras and traditions. The concert aims to show the path from the individual voice to the chamber music community and invites those present to experience music as a narrative process.
The evening opens with Johann Sebastian Bach's Sonata for solo violin in A minor, BWV 1003. The focus is on the movements Grave and Fuga, which impressively show how Bach expanded the boundaries of classical music. As noted in Wikipedia, Bach's works are among the most outstanding of chamber music and are documented in the Bach Works Directory (BWV). The Sonata in A minor is one of his more complex and at the same time most beautiful compositions.
The diverse program
Bach's opening is followed by Max Reger's Suite for cello solo in D minor, op. 131c/2, with the movements Prelude and Largo. Reger, known for his profound compositional skills, brings melancholic yet powerful sounds that will captivate the audience. The crowning conclusion is Pjotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Piano Trio in A minor, op. 50. This is one of the most famous chamber music compositions, which includes, among other things, the Pezzo elegiaco movements as well as various variations that provide emotional climaxes.
The concert takes place as part of a series of events aimed at making chamber music accessible to a wide audience. Ticket reservations are recommended and can be made via the website vereintake5.wien. Entry is offered with a recommended donation of €10 and seating is free, making the event particularly inviting.
A unique experience
In summary, the evening offers numerous highlights from the world of chamber music and promises a real experience for the eyes and ears. The artists bring not only their technical skills, but also their passion for the music they bring to the stage. As the Archive shows, the variety of works that will be performed this evening is an indication of the rich tradition of chamber music and the deep understanding that the performers have for the pieces.
