abFRACKt: Pure romance

In our abFRACKt series, a few things are different: the concert lasts a maximum of one hour, the musicians don't play in black tails, and nobody has to worry about clapping in the wrong place. And you don't need any special knowledge to understand the music. Just come, listen and be surprised. And if you want to learn a little more about the music, download the free Wolfgang app on your smartphone and let it guide you through a live concert of each work. Afterwards, we invite you to linger in our foyers, enjoy an abFRACKt cocktail (also available non-alcoholic) in the "Tutti" café, have a glass of wine or beer and relax, chat or simply look out over the city from the balcony. Children are welcome, the Wolfgang app is suitable for children of reading age and above. About the concert: There is classical music where you can completely forget the world around you and immerse yourself in another world from the very first bars. The First Piano Concerto by Russian composer Peter Tchaikovsky is undoubtedly one of them. And you don't know what to admire first: the enormous speed and precision of the pianist's hands, or the almost exuberant emotion that comes from the instrument. A piano has 88 keys, but here there seem to be at least three times as many.
