Richard Strauss: Metamorphoses. Study for 23 solo strings AV 142 (1945)

The symposium “The Discordant Society: Music in the Face of Crisis” aims to take a special look at the crisis in contemporary society and the genealogy of the present by focusing in particular on music as a symptom, form of expression, vehicle, and possible mirror of experiences of transformation and crisis.

The symposium also includes a concert evening with the Camerata Salzburg and its guests. Music helps heal. We know this from various fields of medicine. But what can music do for our society? This question will be addressed at the concert evening on September 17, 2025. The Camerata Salzburg will accompany a panel discussion on this topic, in which renowned discussants from the fields of cultural management, science, and art will seek answers to this question.
