From antiquity to the present day, countless composers, musicians, and performers of all genders have left—and continue to l leave—their mark on this cathedral city on the Rhine.
In addition to world-famous composers such as Ludwig van Beethoven, Gustav Mahler, Jacques Offenbach, Philipp Jarnach, and many others, Clara Schumann and, in particular, Maria Herz (née Bing), who was born in Kön, have made a significant con- tribution to music history, both in terms of composition and in performance and interpretation.
The 20th and 21st centuries have been—and continue to be—shaped by jazz, blues, rock, pop, rap, techno, and much more—in other words, a wide range of musical styles that nevertheless draw their essence from the work and skill of great masters, both women and men. Gigi Campi, Miles Davis, Freddie Mercury, Tina Turner, Wyse Gyse, and so on and so forth...all the way to Bläck Föös and Trude Herr, of course.
