FreundschaftsSpiele – because music connects souls!
Each weekend of the FreundschaftsSpiele series, prominent artists open their musical hearts to audiences with curiosity, freedom and a whole host of ideas. They are joined by friends, fellow musicians and talented young players from Kronberg Academy, who help them to create something special. Together, the artists organise an entire weekend of concerts and devise concert programmes that thrive on trust, spontaneity and true connection in musical discussions that transcend generations, nations and genres. This series epitomises the spirit once embodied by Pablo Casals.
