But now it’s time to celebrate the anniversary—over the course of two days.  On Saturday, September 12, at 8 p.m., soprano Marlis Petersen and singer, composer, and jazz musician Katrin Weber will return to their hometown of Tuttlingen.

The program ranges from Strauss and Zemlinsky to German-language bossa novas and their own compositions. In ever-changing ensembles, art songs, classical music, jazz, and Brazilian lightness come together. “Reunion in Songs” is a concert about friendship, home, and the unifying power of music.
