Biography Daniel Linton-France & TONALi Trio
TONALi Trio
The TONALi cultural project, which won the ECHO Klassik award in 2017, was developed as an innovative education format in the field of classical music.
Pupils from three selected schools are trained by the Münchner Künstlerhaus in two workshops to organise both a school concert and a final concert at the Münchner Künstlerhaus. Basic knowledge of cultural management is taught in advance, moderation training takes place and responsibility is transferred. The project is brought to the stage of the Münchner Künstlerhaus in close co-operation with the top musicians mentioned above. After the final concert, all young cultural managers receive a certificate that can be used for future job applications.
