In the organizer's words:

Viola Festival: Between valley and mountains

Under the title "Viola. Finally.", the viola will have its own festival in Bremen for the first time from January 9 to February 1, 2026. Outstanding artists such as Borsch4Breakfast, Garth Knox, Prof. Nils Mönkemeyer, Sander Stuart, Ionel Ungureanu together with Sandro Nebieridze and the Vision String Quartet will perform at the University of the Arts Bremen. Admission is free of charge on all four weekends. The workshops and master classes are also open to the public.

The interview and discussion with Sander Stuart as part of the Viola Festival will take place before the Vision String Quartet concert. Stuart is a producer, influencer, podcaster and violist in the Vision String Quartet. He brings musical excellence as well as media and visual creativity. As a producer and podcaster, he works at the interface of music, video art and social media and is an exciting source of inspiration not only for musicians who want to think and work in an interdisciplinary way.
