Performers' Round Table with Louis Knie

The harmonica has always been a favourite instrument for variety shows and clowns. Due to its size, it could be built into walking sticks and other props to amaze the audience. There were also wonderful instruments such as harmonicas with horns or bells that could be struck along with the melody. The magician Anton Kratky-Baschik was the first virtuoso on the instrument and laid the groundwork for making it socially acceptable. Experience an exciting musical evening exploring the history and variations of the harmonica. Isabella Krapf will perform for you on extraordinary harmonicas from all over the world and on a concertina.

If you like, you can bring a harmonica with you or buy one from us at a reasonable price to learn and play a simple piece together.
