Viola Solo: Works by Bach, Reger, Poppe, and others

“There are very few artists in the Champions League of performers who are as passionate about new works as she is,” says composer Enno Poppe about his collaboration with Tabea Zimmermann, the dedicatee of his viola concerto Filz, which she premiered in 2015.


At the Pierre Boulez Saal, TABEA ZIMMERMANN performs the work’s solo version, alongside music by Bach, Hoffmeister, and Reger as well as contemporary compositions by Georges Lentz and Garth Knox.

Joining Zimmermann are students from her studio at the Frankfurt Musikhochschule, where she returned to teach as a professor in 2023.
