In 2014 we celebrate the 60th anniversary of our School. Founded in 1954 under the leadership of Hans Joachim Koellreutter (Composer), it has during all these years responded to the ideal of nurturing new generations of musicians. We present here 32 images which are part of this incredible history. In fact, it is our intention to dedicate a similar space in the coming issues to this same theme, making it possible to visualize many distinct aspects of this complex history, made out of several interacting processes. We would like to invite people to send their photos to us, so that the collection may be as diversified as possible, as it should be.
