The international music elite meets in the unique cultural landscape of the Rheingau at the Rheingau Music Festival. Monasteries, castles, and wineries become backdrops for sonic-cultural flights of fancy. As the festival’s focus artist and door opener, Sarah Willis gives us a taste of selected concerts and typical festival locations and takes us to places steeped in history such as Kloster Eberbach , the stylish Kurhaus Wiesbaden or Schloss Johannisberg, the cradle of great wine culture. In addition to encounters with the festival organizers and Rheingau personalities, the focus is on two concerts with star pianist Bruce Liu and flutist Ana de la Vega.
