On June 13, an extraordinary woman moves into the Musikmuseum Basel: Fanny Hensel - composer, pianist and one of the most exciting musical voices of the 19th century.
During her lifetime, her famous brother Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy was in the limelight, while Fanny Hensel received little public recognition as a woman of her time. Yet she left behind over 450 works and thus an impressive musical legacy.
A special portrait of Fanny Hensel is now on display at the Musikmuseum Basel. We are celebrating this occasion together: with music by Fanny Hensel, played by Eva Maria Hamberger on the historical grand piano from the collection and a short lecture.
