The two sisters and their two bandmates who make up the German-language quartet won the New Music Award as Germany’s newcomer band of the year 2012 and just finished a highly successful tour through Germany. This concert is sponsored by the German government and meant to increase student interests in languages. The students will have the opportunity to meet more than 1,000 German learners.
