Under the theme “Quarter Tones – Music School Meets Depot,” young musicians from the Aachen City Music School and the Depot Talstraße invite you to a musical journey of discovery in northern Aachen on Saturday, June 27.

Starting at 3 p.m., the young musicians will be out and about in northern Aachen. With pop-up concerts on streets and in public squares, as well as at social service facilities, they will bring music and cultural life to public spaces.

At the bona fide senior living facility, the music school’s children’s choir will present a musical program. The GO guitar orchestra will perform at the AWO Community Center in Aachen-Nord, while the keyboard department will welcome visitors to the Carolus Thermen Bad Aachen with a musical performance. At the same time, WindEnergie Junior will be touring various locations in Aachen-Nord with their wind instruments, providing musical surprises. At 4 p.m., the Institut für die Europäische Stadt e. V. invites you to a pop-up reading on the Children’s Rights Square in front of the Depot, adding a literary touch to the musical discoveries.

The "Quarter Tones" festival will conclude at 5:00 p.m. with a concert by the WindEnergie symphonic wind orchestra at the Depot on Talstraße. Weather permitting, the concert will take place on the "Children's Rights Square" in front of the building.

Colorful arrows wind their way through the neighborhood, marking the musical path of the quarter-tones. They connect the various concert venues, spark curiosity about the events taking place in the neighborhood, and invite visitors to follow the sounds all the way to the grand finale at the Depot.

Everyone is invited to drop by, follow the arrows through the neighborhood, listen to the music, and enjoy the rest of the afternoon together.

Admission to all events is free.
