2020: Fairy Tales.

The  Non-Piano/Toy Piano Weekend dives into a magical world of princesses, princes, witches, enchanted creatures, magical objects, exploring traditional versions to present day takes and twists of fairy tales and their characters.

Under the title Cinderella in Streamland, we cordially invite you all to join us on December 13 at 20:00 on our exciting journey through the fairytale forest. Our program, redesigned especially for the livestream format, creates new insights into the fates of beloved fairy tale heroines such as Cinderella, Rapunzel and the Little Mermaid. Strong-willed, brave, kind-hearted – but is it ultimately only their destiny to be taken as wives by handsome, rich princes?
Of course, on our journey we also encounter storytellers, magic wands and, of course… enchanted kisses!
