The inside track on classical music and related cultures.
Our diarist Anthea Kreston is hard back at work.
I am in the middle of a quartet tour, sitting on a train through glorious countryside between Frankfurt and Cologne. Tonight we play in the Augustusburg Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site), built in the early 18th century, this is a traditional u-shaped palace, surrounded by magnificent gardens and a resplendent hunting lodge. Next, we head to Zeist, in central Netherlands, to play in a Moravian Church. The Moravians fled persecution in the mid 1700’s – it is one of the oldest Protestant denominations, originating in the Bohemian Reformation in the 15th century.
As part of The Local’s tour of Germany’s UNESCO World Heritage sites, they take a stroll around Brühl to scope out the Augustusburg Palace and Falkenburg hunting lodge.
