Themed tour: Melodious music stories: From organ pipes to guitar riffs
Solothurn klingt in jeder Epoche anders, und doch immer unverwechselbar. Zwischen barocker Pracht und moderner Bühne hat die Stadt eine Klanglandschaft geschaffen, die vom Domchor bis zum Rockriff, vom Festspiel bis zur Filmmusik reicht. Wer hier durch die Strassen geht, hört nicht nur Geschichten von Mauern und Plätzen, sondern auch von Melodien, die über Jahrhunderte hinweg Menschen bewegt haben.
Solothurn has been making music for centuries. Sometimes solemn and sacred, sometimes loud and rebellious, sometimes surprisingly world-famous. Music has always meant more than just entertainment in this city: it was an expression of faith, identity, longing and freedom. Walking through the streets here, you not only hear the bells and the river rushing, but also feel the invisible vibrations that shape Solothurn's history. A guided tour that lets you hear how majestic organs filled entire church interiors, how rock musicians from Krokus conquered the world stage and how film music from Solothurn made its way to Hollywood. It tells of choirs and concerts, festivals and film days, quiet nuances and loud breakthroughs. A tour that shows that music is not only played in Solothurn, it is part of the city's DNA.
