Collective compositions are a rarity in the history of music. This makes the German collaborative composition “Jüdische Chronik” (1960/61) by Boris Blacher, Paul Dessau, Karl Amadeus Hartmann, Hans Werner Henze and Rudolf Wagner-Régeny, set to a text by Jens Gerlach, all the more significant. On the one hand, the work addresses the resurgence of anti-Semitism in the late 1950s, which also manifested itself in acts of vandalism against Jewish synagogues; on the other hand, it explores the cultural understanding between East and West in what was then a divided Germany. The speakers provide vivid and exciting new insights into this highly topical work, illustrated with musical examples.
The lecture evening will feature three talks, with a duration of approximately 40 minutes each. There will be a discussion and an opportunity for exchange at the end.
Maya Oppitz (HU Berlin): music-historic lecture
Chiara M. Rubino (HU Berlin): music-analytic lecture
Iris Simon (LMU München): dramaturgic lecture
The event is aimed at anyone interested.
Free admission
