Kinder Konzert: Pixel String Quartet

Join us for KINDER KONZERTE, a series of family-friendly concerts that introduce young children to the magic of German classical music. This April, The Pixel Quartet will bring classical masterpieces to life, engaging kids (ages 0-6) with their string instruments in a fun, relaxed setting. It’s the perfect opportunity for little ones and their grown-ups to move, shake, and enjoy music together! On April 27 (11 AM - 12 PM), another Kinder Konzert will take place at the Goethe-Institut. Tickets will be available starting April 3.

One in a Million

Joya Thome’s One in a Million (2022) follows two teenage gymnasts—Whitney Bjerken from the USA and Yara Storp from Germany—who are united by their passion for gymnastics and social media. As Whitney hits one million YouTube followers and Yara navigates her personal growth, the documentary explores themes of identity, loneliness, and self-discovery. Acclaimed for its authentic portrayal of adolescence in the digital age, One in a Million won the ECFA Award at the LUCAS Festival.
