On the initiative of the Stuttgart Philharmonic , two commemorative concerts will take place on May 8, 1945 to mark the end of the Second World War. Choral singers from France, Poland and Germany take part, conducted by an American-Israeli conductor - as a sign that we should never stop striving for understanding between nations. Anyone who has ever participated in an international ensemble knows what music can do: That all singers and musicians, regardless of their origin and mother tongue, strive together for art and encounter texts such as this one by Klopstock: "Resurrect, yes resurrect you, my dust, after a short rest! Immortal life!"
