The first European premiere of the 125 Party Pieces took place in Leipzig's UT Connewitz, which was sold out that evening. A glorious concert, affected by musicians, who kissed their instruments as well as by confetti flying through the concert hall. All in all, it was a diversified, multicolored convert, realized with the help of the ensemble Work in Progress - Berlin, under the direction of conductor Gerhard Müller-Goldboom, January 20,2016
