Herfurthsche Hausmusik #7

The Neue Leipziger Chopin-Gesellschaft invites you to the seventh Herfurthsche Hausmusik evening at the Weißes Haus in Markkleeberg. The 2026 concert series follows Chopin's own programming preferences: piano works alternating with arias from the Romantic Grande opéra (including Bellini, Rossini, and Donizetti), pieces from the classical opera repertoire - above all Mozart - alongside songs and instrumental compositions.

The programme for the evening:
