OPENING WEEKEND - SATURDAY EVENING CONCERT: "DAVIDSBUNDLER SPIRIT"

The idea of the Davidsbündler society was created by Robert Schumann. In his writings, the fictional members of the Davidsbündler were representatives of free-spirited, progressive and open-minded society. These ideals are essential qualities of true artists and embody the modus operandi of our school, and the inspiration of naming it the Davidsbündler Music Academy. 

Not only will you hear the music of Robert Schumann, also includes music of Clara Schumann and Johannes Brahms.
