On even two weekends the BEGEGNUNGEN will take place in Kassel this year! The violinist Tianwa Yang, who presents the chamber music festival as artistic director for the eighth time in a row, invites to six concerts in August. In different formations, she plays the music of past centuries together with renowned artists, enables encounters between people and musical worlds, and creates a space for pausing, remembering and healing.

Music ranging from art song to piano trio to piano quintet can be heard; spherical sounds fill the Museum for Sepulchral Culture in two night concerts. With works by Franz Schubert, Johannes Brahms, Dmitri Shostakovich, Benjamin Britten, Jörg Widmann, César Franck and many others, the musicians go in search of the meaning of love and friendship, give an insight into the musical world of exactly one hundred years ago and – perhaps more necessary today than ever before – offer consolation.
