Dear friends of art and music,
On September 12, 2020, the vernissage of the artist Wilhelm Frosting took place and I am very happy that despite Corona and good weather so many visitors (according to the circumstances) found their way to us!
Of course, the traditional concert was not to be missed at the beginning and this time it was DongYang Xing who delighted us with a magnificent performance. With the Etudes Opus 10 and 25 by Frédéric Chopin, the student of Prof. Sheila Arnold (HfMT Cologne) dared to present a program that truly had it all with its 24 individual pieces, especially considering that the virtuoso is only 21 years old and played the entire program by heart.
And to speak of virtuosity is certainly no understatement. DongYang Xing played the very different and beautiful pieces with great technical refinement, but at the same time he placed great importance on the dramaturgical structure of the pieces, which was evident in his care for intonation and touch. A great start for this opening!
You can find everything about the exhibition here on our gallery page (you will be forwarded to this page).
Dear friends of music and art,
We are particularly pleased to be able to introduce you to the painter Wilhelm Frosting in the music studio. In the course of his life, Frosting became known far beyond the borders of Germany for his impressionistic-looking paintings and not infrequently he was already referred to as the German Monet.
You can find everything about the exhibition here on our gallery page (you will be forwarded to this page).
