The Gutshaus Zarchlin will take you through the winter with extraordinary soundscapes and fresh creative energy. From November to April, a very special series of concerts in the large manor house hall offers intense listening experiences. Adventurers and border crossers of the international music scene from the fields of jazz, classical and electronic music present musical cornerstones, disharmonious border areas, but also a lot of harmony.
We are particularly pleased to be able to present these exceptional pioneers of composition and improvisation in our small, exclusive setting in an intimate atmosphere!
On November 29, exceptional clarinettist Theo Jörgensmannn and his quartet will give a concert at the Gutshaus Zarchlin.
