Klassik Stiftung Weimar, a foundation that brings together more than 20 museums, palaces, historic houses, parks and literary and art collections, is continuing its series of concerts entitled ‘Klingendes Schloss’ this year, revealing another facet of the city’s rich cultural history. Concert-goers at the Stadtschloss, or City Palace, will hear the dulcet tones of valuable instruments appropriate to the elegant setting with its huge paintings, sculptures and splendid furniture. The close connections between Weimar and music are seen for example in Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna’s music room and the ballroom and banquet room where Franz Liszt performed concerts. The Klassik Stiftung is providing three grand pianos this year, and there will also be stringed instruments, clarinets, guitars and singers. Dates: 23 May; 12 July; 13 September and 15 November at the Stadtschloss Weimar. (maa)
