At the gates of modernity

Philharmonic Hall of Liege

According to a study based on names, individuals named Franz tend to be dreamy and original, often spending most of their time writing or painting, and their imagination often surpasses reason... Without falling into stereotypes, it's hard to ignore that many composers have had this name, including Franz Schubert and Franz Liszt, but also Franz Joseph Haydn, the Belgian Franz Constant, and others in the Francis, François, or Ferenc family of names! An eclectic family to (re)discover in the company of some musicians from the OPRL!
