The Odeonsplatz Concert: SOBR, Martin Grubinger & Manfred Honeck
Nestled in the historic city centre, between the magnificent Residenz Palace, the towering Theatinerkirche and the Feldherrnhalle, the Odeonsplatz provides the appropriate setting for an exceptional performer such as Martin Grubinger. The Austrian multi-percussionist is credited for turning classical solo percussion into an event. He demonstrates his versatility with works by Antonin Dvorak, Dmitri Schostakowitsch, Bruno Hartl and Tan Dun, who wrote The Tears of Nature specifically for him. Performing at a breakneck pace, Grubinger, “a virtuoso beyond believe” (Süddeutsche Zeitung), challenges the Symphonic Orchestra of the Bayerischer Rundfunk under Manfred Honeck to a percussion duel at the highest level.
