German violinist Mirijam Contzen
Mirijam Contzen will play three violin solos including particularly virtuosic and rarely performed pieces of classical music - Sonatas by Eugen Ysayes and Paul Hindemith, and Partia by Johann Sebastian Bach.
The pieces will be performed in an entirely dark room, bringing a unique experience of music for the audiences.Listening without being distracted by visual impressions and focusing on the acoustic sensation, listeners will be able to intensely experience the subtleties of the music.
Mirijam Contzen is one of the most interesting contemporary violinists in the world. She became famous at the age of 16 when she won the International Tibor Varga Violin Competition.
Mirijam used to perform with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Prague Symphony Orchestra as well as the Munich Chamber Orchestra.
As a violin soloist, she has been invited to perform at Carnegie Hall New York, the Champs-Elysées Theatre in Paris, Old Opera in Frankfurt, the Suntory Hall Tokyo and the Rheingau Music Festival. Currently, she works with important orchestras around the world.
Due to a limited number of seats, only ages 12 and up can attend the concert. Free tickets are available at the Goethe Institute.
