70 years young – and still going strong! The Clara Schumann Music School is celebrating its anniversary and showcasing what has set it apart for seven decades:
Curiosity, a love of music and the desire to push ourselves to new heights together. We are united by a passion for giving young talents a platform and turning their first notes into the music of a bright future. So where better to hold this celebration than at our musical neighbour, the Tonhalle? When the youth orchestras of the music school and the Tonhalle perform both individually and together, a birthday celebration becomes a resounding promise for the next 70 years.
