A space with special acoustics
The organ hall is designed for musical precision and offers, according to the university, a specially acoustically oriented venue for concerts and teaching. This is exactly where a Guitar Evening unfolds its special effect: every strike, every dynamic nuance, and every fine orchestration in solo performance gets space. This makes the evening particularly appealing for an audience that appreciates sound details just as much as the immediate stage performance of young musicians.
