Insight Strings / Workshop: String instruments
Elbphilharmonie+
Discover string instruments
The »String Instruments« workshop is an opportunity to look over the shoulder of a violin-maker and have a go at playing a violin or even a double bass yourself. During the visit to a Hamburg violin-maker’s workshop, participants discover first-hand how much craftsmanship goes into creating such an instrument. And to close, the award-winning Simply Quartet from Vienna demonstrates what’s possible with string instruments.
The workshop is connected to the Simply Quartet concert on 19 February.
Elbphilharmonie+ is a programme that opens up different ways of looking at the music performed at the Elbphilharmonie – either to supplement a concert, or as an experience in its own right. Interdisciplinary encounters and exhibitions form part of the Elbphilharmonie+ programme, as do concert talks and films shown in museums, libraries, cinemas and community centres.
