The event at a glance
Description
Abuse of power, sexual violence and lack of awareness can be found in the music business, but also in the repertoire itself: In some of the best-known art songs, these issues are more or less clearly addressed. This is the focus of this evening of songs and discussion presented by pianist and poet Daniel Arkadij Gerzenberg together with soprano Sophia Burgos and a prominent discussion panel.
The concert is part of the project »Inside Artists« of Beethovenfest Bonn, supported by Liz Mohn Stiftung and »tuned – Network for Contemporary Classical Music« of Kulturstiftung des Bundes.
