Baroque Concertos at the Spivey Hall in Clayton County, GA

After their first US tour in May 2005 with concerts in New York (Carnegie Hall), Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Washington, DC, Clayton County is happy to welcome the Akademie fuer Alte Musik (AAM) Berlin's in the Spivey Hall on Sunday, April 6th 2008.

The Akademie began as a courageous display of musical solidarity against the East German socialist regime. Now, more than 20 years later, the AAM Berlin's musical glories extend far and wide. The ensemble records exclusively for Harmonia Mundi and in addition to their series at the Berlin Konzerthaus, they appear regularly in the great concert houses of Europe: London's Wigmore Hall, the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels, the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris, the Zurich Tonhalle, and the Vienna Musikverein!
