Especially in times, when concert halls are closed, rehearsals and concerts are cancelled, one thing particularly applies: keep playing! Because music connects us. We visited our musicians at home to find out how they ‘Keep Playing’.

The limits of art today are the challenge of my freedom.
*
Music is my way of life.
*
Even today I experience my relationship to the world by making music.
*
For me, social distancing means a contradiction to the closeness of the physique of music and to the physicality of sound – that’s why I won’t stop searching for opportunities to stay in close contact with the audience.
Magdalena Hoffmann | harp
Play whenever you can.
*
Listen closely in silence.
*
If there’s space, you can fantasize.
*
Goodbye – ‘hear’ you soon.
Celina Bäumer | violin
„That even though the curtain has been closed, all questions remain open.“ (Berthold Brecht)
*
Those who are no longer allowed to play have time to play.
*
…to play, to play, to play…
Valérie Gillard | violin
Laughing is good.
*
Bach is my constant companion.
*
Always look ahead.
*
Nice to rehearse with colleagues again.
