Sighs for the harmonies - Freiburg's music history (guided tour)

Did you know that Beethoven was specifically looking for a woman in Freiburg? And that Mendelssohn composed a "Freiburg Allegretto"? Connections to the greats of music such as Franz Liszt and the Mozart family run through the city's history. But not only classical music, but also hearty drinking songs can be heard here. Hindered careers, vanished music stores and the interference and harassment of the National Socialists are all topics of the tour. There was an "advice center for the Christmas music of the house" in the Colombischlössle, with which the brown shirts wanted to suppress traditional songs such as "Silent Night" - in vain. After the war, a motorcycle ride by Gustav Scheck with a flute in his rucksack was the impetus for the founding of the music academy. - Registration required.
