“Without music and social engagement, life would be a mistake.”
(Claudio Abbado)
Claudio Abbado called concert halls all over the world his home, founded his own festivals and orchestras and supported young musicians. What made him stand out was his unpretentious, noble character, his democratic understanding of music making and his ability to celebrate the live moment on stage.
