Concert with Cornelia Lenzin (piano), Aurea Marston (soprano) and Tobias Van der Pals (cello)

Leopold van der Pals (1884-1966) was a composer of the late romantic and early modern periods. Before the First World War, he worked with Rudolf Steiner at the Goetheanum. He composed songs, chamber music and symphonic works, including incidental music for eurythmy performances. Tobias Van der Pals discovered his great-grand-uncle's music during his student days as a cellist in Denmark and has been systematically working on the revival and publication of Van der Pals' works ever since. In this program, he himself will participate and interpret works by his ancestor on the cello.
