FreundschaftsSpiele
This new concert series offers great musicians a chance to organise musical “friendlies”, inviting artist friends to play alongside them in the Casals Forum. Taking delight in their collaboration, they organise a top class weekend of concerts exactly as they choose, with students from Kronberg Academy likewise in on the game. Four such “mini festivals” feature in this first season, where six artists who teach at Kronberg Academy will act as “playmakers”.
