Concerts in Quarantine

Wednesdays in January

On thirteen consecutive Wednesday evenings, Stingray Classica broadcasts inspiring chamber music performances recorded at Berlin's Schinkel Pavillon. Director Jan Schmidt-Garre invited outstanding classical musicians to take part in the Concerts in Quarantine series from March to May 2020. While reality abruptly and radically changed in the face of COVID-19, and social and cultural spaces suddenly disappeared from our everyday life, Schinkel Pavillon opened its unexpectedly vacated exhibition space for this intimate concert series in isolation!
