The repertoire of the Dresden Residence Orchestra ranges from baroque to modern. Now arcona has once again been able to win the international orchestra for guest performances in small formations.
In keeping with the historic heraldic hall of the Romantik Hotel at Wartburg Castle in Eisenach, the soloists of the Dresden Residence Orchestra will perform music as it was performed at the courts of central Germany with works by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Johann David Heinichen, Johann Friedrich Fasch, Johann Adolph Hasse and Antonio Vivaldi.
In the Lichtsaal of the Hotel Elephant Weimar, the outstanding violin soloist and musical director of the Dresden Residence Orchestra, Professor Igor Malinovsky, will give a violin recital together with Robert Umanski as piano accompanist. They will dedicate themselves to two compositions for violin and piano by Ludwig van Beethoven as well as a rarely heard violin sonata by his contemporary Carl Maria von Weber. Works by Tchaikovsky offer a sonorous excursion into the world of Romanticism.

The Romantik Hotel auf der Wartburg, situated high above Eisenach, offers a wonderful view over the Thuringian Forest and the birthplace of Johann Sebastian Bach as a neighbor of the almost 1000-year-old UNESCO World Heritage Wartburg. Guests of the hotel particularly appreciate the excellent gastronomy, the small, fine wellness area for relaxation and the warmth of all the staff. The Romantik Hotel auf der Wartburg is part of the Rostock-based company arcona HOTELS & RESORTS. The shareholders of the arcona Group are Alexander Winter and Prof. Stephan Gerhard.
The Hotel Elephant Weimar in the heart of the classic city is one of the most historic and renowned hotels in Germany. Operated by arcona HOTELS & RESORTS, the traditional hotel opened as an Autograph Collection hotel in October 2018 after extensive renovation. Under this brand, Marriott unites exceptional, hand-picked hotels with a unique perspective on design, craftsmanship and hospitality under the premise "exactly like nothing else". The unmistakable charm of the boutique hotel is characterized by timelessly elegant design as well as classic art deco and building elements, which are showcased in 99 comfortable rooms and suites, the conference rooms and the public areas.
In the Lichtsaal, the heart of the hotel, the focus is on the multifaceted cultural program and the hotel's own art collection. Guests will find authentic and uncomplicated enjoyment in the stylish AnnA restaurant as well as in the bar and wine bar. Today more than ever, the Hotel Elephant Weimar is a place of open encounters and, as a hotspot and living room of the city, inspires travelers as well as locals and visitors to the region. Anyone who enters this place can feel it.
Founded in 2008, arcona HOTELS & RESORTS, based in Rostock, is a company specializing in the operation and development of hotels. As part of its reorientation towards the leisure and vacation hotel industry, arcona sold its city hotels at the beginning of 2019. The remaining six hotels are located in established vacation destinations such as Rügen, Sylt and Kitzbühel. The well-known Hotel Elephant Weimar, the traditional Romantik Hotel auf der Wartburg and the Schloss Teschow golf club are also part of arcona's portfolio. Barefoot Hotels will be a new business segment in the future. In 2018, arcona signed a long-term contract with Barefoot founder Til Schweiger for the worldwide implementation of the concept as a licensee. Accordingly, arcona intends to open further Barefoot Hotels at prominent destinations in the coming years. The shareholders of arcona are Alexander Winter and Treugast founder Prof. Stephan Gerhard. The company is based in the listed Zeek'sche Villa designed by architect Paul Korff in Rostock. Further images and information can be found at www.arcona.de
