    One musican playing for one listener - a very unusual experience: a member of the Frankfurt Opern- und Museumsorchester communicating with someone for 10 minutes without saying a word.

    In cooperation with Oper Frankfurt

    Who the musician will be and what they will be playing is a surprise. All the information you have is where and at what time on which day you will meet, 2 metres apart.

    The concerts at the Weltkulturen Museum will take place in the exhibition „WORLDS IN MOTION. Narrating Migration“. You can visit the exhibition after the concert.

    These special events were inspired by Stephanie Winker, Franziska Ritter, Christian Siegmund & Sophie von Mansberg's 1:1 concert format which they developed for the »Sommerkonzerte Volkenroda« chamber music festival.
