A look Backstage with Sarah Willis

Let Sarah Willis take you backstage - well, virtually! In her series, the presenter and musician takes viewers on a pre-concert backstage tour, talking to the night's performers. The witty 'introductions' are free to attend, but you will need a separate ticket, which you can order in advance.

In the centre of Frankfurt

How are the world's musical cultures reflected in a city as colourful and diverse as Frankfurt? The series 'Mittendrin in Frankfurt', organised by the Office for Multicultural Affairs (AmkA) in conjunction with the 'Music of the World' concerts at the Alte Oper, deals with cultural identities and homelands, the unifying power of music and the view of what is unique and characteristic. The four discussion evenings with panellists and musical samples will take place at AmkA's stadtRAUMfrankfurt and are free of charge.
