Grundton D - Benefizkonzerte für den Denkmalschutz

In the organizer's words:

Katja Riemann, recitation and concept
Franziska Hölscher, violin
Marianna Shirinyan, piano

An evening of humor and music with works by Camille Saint-Saëns, Igor Stravinsky and others

The "Carnival of Happiness" and "Tired Happiness" - an adaptation of the story of Job - will be recited by Katja Riemann and accompanied by Franziska Hölscher on the violin and Marianna Shirinyan on the piano. The texts are by Roger Willemsen, the music by Charles Camille Saint-Saёns, Igor Stravinsky and other composers.

The Alte Kongresshalle München is a "retro-futuristic" building erected in 1952/53 by architects Ernst Etzold, Emil Freymuth and Josef Strobl, which served as the event center of the old Munich exhibition grounds until 1998. In 2011, the hall was awarded the Munich Foundation for the Preservation of Historical Monuments prize.

The proceeds from this benefit concert will go to the Munich Monument Foundation, a foundation in the care of the German Foundation for Monument Protection, which has been working specifically for the renovation, restoration, preservation and maintenance of monuments in the Munich area since 2001.

The Grundton D charity concerts, which have been organized by Deutschlandfunk in collaboration with the German Foundation for Monument Protection since 1990, are particularly inspiring due to the combination of music and architecture. To mark the 40th anniversary of the German Foundation for Monument Protection in 2025, a total of three concerts will be held in special monuments for extraordinary purposes.
