200 years of the Allgemeine Musik-Gesellschaft Zürich (AMG)
This exhibition looks back at 200 years of the Allgemeine Musik-Gesellschaft – the “General Music Society” – but also 200 years of musical life in Zurich. Selected exhibits from the AMG’s archive and library illustrate its eventful past; they include the autograph manuscript of Brahms’s 4th Symphony and a detailed set of concert regulations dating from 1812. Also on display are historical musical instruments owned by the Society.
