Tonger Music House

Lutz Wentscher spoke of the long history of Tonger Music House, one of the most traditional publishers in Germany.  As CEO, Lutz has helped guide the company in recent years, yet looks back fondly on the many achievements of the Tonger Company since it was first established in Cologne in 1822.  Tonger has been committed for over 100 years to the education system and the music programs both in and outside of Germany.  The company has supplied over 1,000 schools with music and set up programs to provide materials even when they cannot be afforded.  “Music is for everyone” Lutz reflects within his interview, “it heals us and it drives us.”
