“Our planned guest concert in Aschaffenburg on Saturday, June 17th. unfortunately had to be cancelled at short notice by the organizer, as the air conditioning in the Stadthalle has completely failed and therefore no events can take place there at the moment. After a thorough examination, no suitable alternative venue could be found in Aschaffenburg.
Tickets purchased will be refunded at the box office in Aschaffenburg.
We are playing the same program (Beethoven, Mahler) with the same performers (Seong-Jin Cho, Benedetta Torre and Alain Altinoglu) on the two previous days at the Alte Oper Frankfurt, tickets are still available for these evenings.”
