Sonntags am Rhein
(Sundays at the Rhine)

 

 

We are proud to announce the launch in 2015 of a monthly concert series entitled "Sonntags am Rhein" ("Sundays at the Rhine").

 

Art song lovers will surely understand the reference to Schumann's eponimous song. However, our concert series is not exclusively dedicated to the art song genre, but features instrumentalists and chamber music ensembles as well.

 

As the title suggests, these concerts take place once a month on a Sunday afternoon. All concerts take place in the recitall hall of the Sankt Goar International Music Festival and Academy (Heerstraße 5, 56329, Sankt Goar) and start at 17:00 (5:00 PM).

 

Both established and emerging artists are featured in this series. Our schedule for 2015 is as follows:
