Welcome

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Dear Music Friends,

Music moves us! Music is so closely united to the human condition that all areas of our lives are expressed in it - from the profane to the spiritual, from the greatest joy to the deepest mourning; and it is fascinating to note that musical resources are practically inexhaustible. Music’s endless wealth is available to everyone. Those who have personally discovered the great experience of music know that they have gained immeasurably - for the moment and for the future.

Considered from the vantage point of the concert hall as a listening post and as a place for vivacious music-making, music emerges out of silence. In the midst of a world of simultaneity, a place that concentrates on music has particular value and, in harmony with outstanding artists, it draws listeners toward creative perception. The atmosphere of the concert hall, a community dedicated to active listening, makes it easy to discover the richness of music.

We would be missing so much without music! Music is a vast Garden of Eden with plateaus, dark forests, mysterious jungles, exciting nooks and crannies, and intoxicating depths; and with the number of individual pathways within it bordering on the infinite, it is as wide-ranging as the world itself – yet always fresh! In this way, music carries within it an element of primordial humanity.
