He didn't just play in orchestras; he wrote for theatre and film as well. If you listen closely, as if the walls are whispering to you, you might catch the echo of his music that once filled concert halls. Did you know Hindemith even played one of the first electronic instruments? It's this blend of old and new that makes this place so special.
