The Ballhaus Riviera was built in 1895 and by the 1920’s was a hotspot during the cultural boom of the Weimar Republic. For musicians of the time, this was one of ‘the places to play’. After The Second World War the Ballhaus remained open, although it’s heyday had definitely past. After the reunification of Germany the building fell into disuse and decay .
Augustin Barrios was a Paraguayan composer who lived from 1885 to 1944. He is one of the finest guitar composers.
