Brahms-Lounge

Brahms without a beard: at the 2024 Musikfestival, the lounge was the relaxed place where the composer was confronted with the social issues of our time. What specific conditions made his career possible? What did the creator of the Hungarian Dances think about cultural appropriation? And what target groups was his music aimed at anyway? Exciting keynote speeches by leading academics from various disciplines broadened the perspective on Brahms.
