Description

The lecture focuses on music theater works by Jewish composers. At a time when anti-Semitic incidents from a wide variety of directions are on the rise in Germany in particular, the seminar recalls works that were composed under terrible conditions (such as in concentration camps), in exile or under the most difficult political circumstances. Among others, we will approach the music of Kurt Weill, Hans Krása, Viktor Ullmann, Mieczysław Weinberg and, of course, Arnold Schönberg, whose birthday 150 years ago is being commemorated this year. In particular, we will look at some of his music-theatrical works, listen to them, see them and discuss which "compositional strategies" are also interesting for contemporary composing.
