Music is a fleeting art — it lives only in the moment it is heard.

However, in that moment, it holds the power to move us, heal us, and connect us.

At Fernweh, we believe that preserving our hearing is as vital as the music itself.

 

Fernweh was founded on the belief that music should not only be performed with excellence, but serve a purpose beyond the stage. As musicians, we are deeply aware that our hearing and connection to sound is often taken for granted -- until it begins to fade.

 

Our team has witnessed firsthand how preventable hearing loss can impact an individual, along with their families and community. This awareness led us to expand our mission: to protect the very sense that makes music possible.

 

There are countless people who could preserve their hearing if they had access to early education, resources, and community support. Because of this, a portion of our concert proceeds directly supports research and outreach in hearing loss prevention.

 

Our performances are not only artistic experiences, but quiet acts of advocacy — ensuring that the beauty of music remains accessible for generations to come.

 

Fernweh is committed to musical excellence, emotional depth, and a mission to keep these sounds alive. We invite you to join us in listening to our musical journey as we work to protect the gift of listening itself.

 

Music is heard with the ears, but felt with the heart.

Let’s protect that gift, together.
