From child prodigy to "queen of violin playing" - Anne-Sophie Mutter has been given many an attribute in the course of her incomparable career. "You can't say talent, she's simply a genius," Herbert von Karajan once said in praise of her. For five decades, Germany's greatest international classical music star has shaped the music scene worldwide as a soloist, mentor and visionary. The repertoire of the four-time Grammy Award winner encompasses both traditional masterpieces and contemporary compositions - always in search of new tonal nuances and depths of expression.

Together with the Berlin Baroque Soloists - a top ensemble with which she has been closely associated for many years - Anne-Sophie Mutter presents an exciting program at Pro Arte in the Rosengarten to mark her 50th stage anniversary, which builds bridges: from Mozart to modern sound worlds to a very personal work by André Previn. The focus is on two works close to the violinist's heart: Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 1 in B flat major - a piece of playful elegance - and the famous Violin Concerto No. 5 in A major K. 219, the so-called "Turkish". For Anne-Sophie Mutter, this is a highlight of Mozart's oeuvre: "Here he experiments with numerous new ideas. It is the boldest, most multi-layered concerto, full of abrupt changes of mood."
