The Bandoneon on Travel by the German photographer Lisa Franz, author of the book A Year in Buenos Aires and Argentine musician Facundo Barreyra, is based on the cultural and artistic exchange in which, through the bandoneon´s travels, Argentinian and European cultures intimately get to reflect on each other by the medium of art: Telling stories with photographs, literature and with the unique voice of this instrument, that was born in Carlsfeld, Germany and developed from the twentieth century on in Argentina.

The project has as it´s target to create awareness of the deep connection between Argentina and Europe. This connection represents the bandoneon instrument in a unique way, because it was invented in Germany at the end of the 19th Century, in Carlsfeld and it´s today - introduced by European immigrants - played mainly in Argentina, representing an important part of local culture.

Lisa Franz and Facundo Barreyra have put together based on the poem " Morning Light " by the Austrian poet and writer, Stefan Zweig, several pieces of music which can be heard on the CD of the same title.

The format of the project is planned as an audio-visual concert, where Facundo Barreyra plays the bandoneon, Lisa Franz reads from her book, while images are projected from her photo series The Bandoneon on Travel, which have been taken by the photographer and author during more than ten years in Argentina.
Even other musicians and artists may be invited to the concert. The project has been developed to serve different proposals to interact with the public of all ages and cultures in areas of different characteristics.

The project The Bandoneon on Travel consists of five components that can be combined:

I    CD Morning Light - Stories of a Traveling Bandoneon.
II   Photo series The Bandoneon on Travel projected or printed.
III  Historical introduction to the bandoneon instrument.
IV Book presentation by the author Lisa Franz A Year in Buenos Aires.
