A Musical City History at the Piano

On Thursday, October 22, 2026, the City Museum Düsseldorf will transform into a sound space for the city's music history. During the piano evening A City by the River III, pianist Aleksandar Filić will present works from several centuries that were created in or closely connected to Düsseldorf.

From Joachim Neander to the Present

The program opens a wide musical arc: 350 years ago, Joachim Neander worked in Düsseldorf. Aleksandar Filić will perform his choral works and connect them with Oskar Gottlieb Blarr's 1987 work The Neanderthal, which was inspired by one of these chorales.

Düsseldorf Romanticism with Dramatic Power

A highlight of the evening is Johannes Brahms' 2nd Piano Sonata. The young composer premiered the work in 1853 at the Schumann residence. The dramatic orchestration of the piano part, the contrasting themes, and the focused stage performance promise a remarkable concert experience.

The romantic gesture is contrasted by Norbert Laufer's dance-like Five Syncopated Pieces from 1984. Rhythmic shifts, precise synchronization, and changing timbres bring movement to the evening and open the view to different facets of Düsseldorf music.

New Sounds for a Vibrant Music City

With current piano miniatures by Martin Wistinghausen and Frederike Möller, the program reaches into the immediate present. Historical references meet contemporary sound language, while the sound of the concert grand piano connects the musical epochs.

Live Atmosphere at the City Museum

The concert will take place at the City Museum Düsseldorf, a place where city history, art, and cultural memory come together. Between historical spaces and modern concert dramaturgy, a special audience atmosphere is created: focused, immediate, and close to the music.

Conclusion: Experience Düsseldorf's Music History Live

A City by the River III connects choral, romantic, modern piano music, and contemporary miniatures into a multifaceted concert evening. Those who wish to discover Düsseldorf from a new, sonorous perspective will experience music history here not as a retrospective, but as a lively stage performance.
