Stradivarius – Myth and Music is the name of an exhibition that will be shown at the Wallraf Richartz Museum at Cologne (Germany) in spring next year. From 5 March 2010, the celebrated picture gallery will be host to over 50 stringed instruments from the hand of the legendary Antonio Stradivarius (1648-1733).
The exhibits are largely from private collectors and only rarely put on public view. Additional loans will be made by international museums, high-ranking foundations and celebrated musicians. This, the largest selection of Stradivariuses ever assembled in the world, will be shown exclusively at the Wallraf for just 17 days – from 5 to 21 March 2010. Parallel to this, a concert series is planned in which renowned soloists will appear at the museum and play their very own Stradivariuses.

In 2009 the topic will be: “The Double Bass in the 19th Century”
From Beethoven recitals to Wagner’s Parzifal, from the Trout Quintet to Otello, and also from the “Schrumm-schrumm-Bass” to the most challenging virtuoso works, double bass playing in the 19th century saw some exciting developments with regard to innovations in the construction of instruments and the establishment of playing techniques. The topic is further explored in lectures, teachers’ and participants’ concerts and in the teaching sessions. Of course many other aspects of double bass playing are discussed besides this special topic. The closing concert is organised by the participants. The Double Bass Kaleidoscope is aimed in the first place at music students and professional musicians. There are 40 places available for those wishing to participate actively. Passive participation is also possible, which could be of interest to ambitious lay people. Owing to the anticipated huge demand it is recommended that you register in good time.
