»Instrument of the Year«
We celebrate the violin - instrument of the year 2020
The Schleswig-Holstein State Music Council declares the violin the "Instrument of the Year" 2020, which means that this year the focus is on a widely used string instrument. The violin plays the first violin, not only in the orchestra but also in the string quartet. It is a central figure in classical music and at home in almost all other musical genres. A Western musical life without the violin is simply unimaginable. The violin is all the more suitable for making connections: from folk solo to orchestra tutti, from background strings in pop to diva in chamber music.
Every year, the Schleswig-Holstein State Music Council chooses the instrument of the year in order to present it to a broad public at numerous events together with cultural partners beyond the state borders. The MHL also invites you on a special kind of voyage of discovery. In the course of the year, the MHL violin classes present the instrument of the year in all its facets.
