For our project “Bang on a Can @ Villa Musica”, the All-Stars will be cooperating with the StiftungVilla Musica, which is dedicated to promoting young talent especially in the area of chamber music.
As part of a one-week festival, we will gather, rehearse and perform together with a group of young musicians from Germany. All of the musicians will appear in twelve concerts in various arrangements at the Frankfurter Hof in Mainz (Nov 19 and 26) and the Baroque Castle Engers in Neuwied (Nov 20-25). The festival also includes two commissioned works and will conclude with a several-hour-long concert marathon.
