The Non-Piano/Toy Piano Weekend celebrates its tenth birthday in 2024 under the motto “KALEIDOSCOPE”. On a festive anniversary evening, we will present two different concerts celebrating ten years of colorful, multifaceted and inspiring moments. Inspired by the children’s toy that gives it its name, our “KALEIDOSCOPE” will reveal a surprising and exciting spectrum of new and old, twisted and turned over and over again.
