Ev. Kirchengemeinde Karben
In the fourth concert on April 25, 2026, Susanne Müller-Hornbach and Dirk Peppel will be guests at the church with their program “Mirrors” for flute and violoncello.
Contemporary works by Kaija Saariaho, Toru Takemitsu, Lutz-Werner Hesse, Gerhard Müller-Hornbach, and György Kurtág are set in dialogue with historical music by Georg Philipp Telemann, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Joseph Marie Clément Ferdinand Dall’Abaco.
