Traveling exhibition in Aarau
The exhibition curated by Sibylle Ehrismann and Verena Naegele now presents the history of the Aargau Symphony Orchestra in Aarau.
The traveling exhibition grow - anchor - shinen accompanies the Aargau Symphony Orchestra throughout its entire anniversary season. Five triangular towers illuminate the history of the orchestra and thus also the musical life of the Canton of Aargau.
Sibylle Ehrismann and Verena Naegele, the curators of the traveling exhibition, have compiled many surprising anecdotes and interesting details about the history of the orchestra. For example, the star violinist Nigel Kennedy played with the Aargau Symphony Orchestra as a young talent.
In addition to an overview of the various periods and their respective chief conductors, the exhibition shows the development of the ensemble from a music teachers' orchestra to a nationally important orchestra and cultural "beacon" of the Canton of Aargau.
The exhibition has been on tour since September last year and can now be seen from April 4 to April 26 in the counter hall of the Aargauische Kantonalbank at its headquarters in Aarau.
