In the event format ‘From Hartmann Research,’ we would like to offer a platform for current academic discourse.

Friedrich Geiger, Professor of Historical Musicology at the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich and Director of the Musicology Institute there, is also project manager of the long-term project NS Persecution and Music History of the Academy of Sciences in Hamburg, which is being carried out in Munich and Hamburg. In his lecture, Geiger will shed light on the oppositional stance taken by composers in the Nazi state. Using various case studies, including Karl Amadeus Hartmann, he will seek to make concepts such as resistance and inner emigration more precise and tangible – what do they mean in concrete terms for music and composition?
