This year, we will once again travel all around Baden-Baden with our mobile performance space, the VeloStage. Members of the Berliner Philharmoniker will play not only at the official opening of the Easter Festival in the Kurhaus, but also in a school gymnasium, the city library, a retirement home and the Frieder Burda Museum.
