Panda Theater, Berlin Prenzlauer Berg
The first two concerts (of 15 so far!) at Pandatheater were a wonderful debut in an almost perfect place for us. Among other things, they illustrate the eclecticism of the series. Within two days in March 2019, two completely different artists performed: Oscar Bohórquez, who played all of J.S. Bach violin sonatas, and Manlio Maresca, who went much louder and more improvisational with his Manual for Errors.
And that was just the beginning.
