Music of the World Season Series 2022/23

In Search of a Smile
The new Music of the World season series taps into the South. This time, this southern course is even more pronounced. At a time fraught with pressing problems that seem to distract us from the important things in life, we cannot but search for exceptionality, the passion that at least temporarily takes us elsewhere else. Where a smile and a friendly “How’s it going?”  are worth more than your net worth. Of course, this is the Western world’s romantic viewpoint, but one that is inevitable. The South remains synonymous with relaxation, joy even in sadness and longing. And something we can resort to in our present reality and for future domestic use. May the old and new world music lift your spirits and bring sunnier post-concert mornings. Let yourselves be seduced and share the fascination. For one more smile.
