"A river has a power to flow, carry, transport, connect, purify ... It tells history in a flow of time ...This time that we live and experience gives me a longing for flow and flowing - to flow on, life goes on ..." (Masako Ohta)

Welcome to our evening dedicated to flowing with compositions by Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann, J. S. Bach, Kengyo Yatsuhashi and Masako Ohta (world premiere - a performative composition installation) and readings by Gunna Wendt and Siegfried Völlger!

A river connects us ...

"Cause we`re standing by a river,
And the river's deep and wide,
We've got to get together
For to reach the other side."
(from Climax Blues Band "Standing by a river"
