Louis Andriessen: Workers Union

Two very different perspectives on Ludwig van Beethoven – on the one hand the 7th Symphony with the MKO and Clemens Schuldt, on the other hand the program “Beethoven’s Breakdown” by the Jazzrausch Bigband – frame the first joint appearance of the two Munich orchestras: Louis Andriessen’s legendary great composition “Workers Union « (1975), written »for any loud sounding group of instruments«, promises to be a spectacular experience.
