What does hair say about a person? The Museum Folkwang is addressing this question in the exhibition "Grow It, Show It!" with photographs and posters, record covers and TikTok clips. At its concerts in the museum rooms, the FKO takes up the question and combines beautiful music with the exhibits. In a program curated especially for the exhibition by chief conductor Johannes Klumpp, the journey goes from the middle of the 20th century into the past. The conformist musicians, the freedom lovers, the geniuses: is the composition style visible in their hair? Is a "neat" hairstyle an indication of clear, tidy music - and does chaos on the head also mean a wild musical signature? A musical search for clues with the FKO in the Museum Folkwang!
