nirgend_anders

In the organizer's words:

Tickets

Sometimes you have the feeling of being lost in the big picture - of having to conform to the many. The fear of the foreign, the unknown accompanies us. Hate and exclusion are hidden in the everyday lives of many people. The "nowhere_else" offers hope: a place to come together with all our uniqueness.

"nirgend_anders" is a play development of an unusual kind. The singers and ensemble of the junge norddeutsche philharmonie use music to create a space in which identity can be freely imagined and boundaries dissolve. Real stories meet arias and songs about self-realization - in works by Gustav Mahler, Rita Strohl and Richard Strauss, among others. "nirgend_anders" encourages us to unfold, to reach out to others and reminds us of the beauty of lived diversity.

With "nirgend_anders", the junge norddeutsche philharmonie is making its debut in music theater and is thus continuing the increased examination of important social issues in its projects. The orchestra network for young students from all over Germany sees itself as a catalyst for young ideas and support for new initiatives to strengthen the broad music scene in northern Germany. In 2017, the network was named an "Outstanding Landmark in the Land of Ideas", nominated for the BKM Prize for Cultural Education in 2018 and awarded the Würth Prize of Jeunesses Musicales Deutschland in 2020.
