The building on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan across from the Metropolitan Museum has belonged to the Federal Republic of Germany since the 1950s. For a long time it served as the headquarters of the Goethe Institute in New York and is currently operated under the name “1014” as a “Place for Ideas”.
There have been similar intimate concert experiences in other places since the beginning of the pandemic. At Stuttgart Airport, for example, musicians from the Stuttgart State Orchestra, the SWR Symphony Orchestra and the University of Music and Performing Arts played in so-called “1: 1 Concerts” for ten minutes each for one listener.
