Part 2 of our anniversary series, celebrating KU’s 10th anniversary!🎶✨

From Jean-Yves Thibaudet and KU in Tokyo to Christina Landshamer, 2017 was a year filled with unforgettable musical moments. It’s a year we look back on with great fondness—and one we’re happy to revisit as part of our anniversary celebrations.

📷🎞️🎶 This is what the Gewandhaus Quartet looked like in 1921, photographed by August Sander. And on the next slide: KLASSIK underground, over 100 years later.

At our next concert, Sander’s photographs come to life as a video projection, merging with the music of KLASSIK underground. His images capture the society of the 20th century—yet still feel strikingly relevant today.

See you on May 6 at the Museum Gunzenhauser! ✨
