Wenn Musik zur Heimat wird

In the organizer's words:

Johannes Fleischmann - violin
Justus Zeyen - piano
Benno Ure - idea and moderation

Survival and downfall, love and betrayal, winners and losers: in times of oppression and persecution, many musicians leave their homeland and never return. Their fight for life and recognition is also a fight for their music. It is the only thing they have left. It becomes their home, each in their own way.

Johannes Fleischmann, Justus Zeyen and Benno Ure use music and texts to take us back to the first half of the twentieth century, to times of exile. In the smallest format of chamber music - violin and piano - they present the fascinations and trends of the most diverse period in music history. The presentation places the works in the context of their time and gives their creators a face.

The result is a special interplay, a concert full of discoveries and touching fates: a tribute to great musicians and their music.
