Musik im Widerstand

In the organizer's words:

Music as a voice of resistance - after the emigration of many musicians from Nazi Germany, a powerful scene of creative artists emerged worldwide who carried songs against National Socialism, terror and war into the world.

From the Moscow recordings of Ernst Busch to the songs of the International Brigades in Spain to anti-Nazi compositions from the USA and England - the music of the resistance knew no borders. The songs of the French Resistance were also part of this cultural protest.

Experience a musical journey through time that shows how melodies became symbols of protest. In his lecture, Michael M. Lang, defense lawyer and collector of rare historical sound documents, will play original shellac records and radio recordings. These rare pieces of music make it impressively clear that resistance manifests itself not only in literature and art, but also in music.

Immerse yourself in the world of resistant sounds and feel the unbroken power of musical protest. An evening full of history, sound and inspiration!
