FreundschaftsSpiele – because music connects souls!
Our new concert series, FreundschaftsSpiele, invites you to discover music as a deeply unifying experience. Six outstanding artists from the Kronberg Academy bring their musical friends to the Casals Forum to create four weekends filled with joyful play and closeness - entirely shaped by their own ideas and moods. Each concert weekend becomes a "mini-festival," where humanity and music meet in a unique atmosphere. The boundaries between stage and audience blur as the artists present personal works, inviting the audience to share in their friendship and passion for music. Students from the Kronberg Academy are also involved, bringing fresh energy to these extraordinary weekends.
