April news

On April 5 again on stage: Stoppok & Artgenossen. Do not miss this wonderful concert in the legendary artist town Worpswede. Featuring Katharina Franck & Werner Neumann, Iris Romen, Martin Kälberer, Julian Dawson, Ulrike Haage and our host Stefan Stoppok.

This concert with an exquisite line-up meant a light-hearted day before the show, joy everywhere, respect in every note. Surprising duets felt like magic. (Here one duet with Stoppok and another one with Martin Kälberer). Big thanks to everyone before, on and behind the stage. Every part mattered. Photos by Christine Meyer, merci.

Among the winners of the international radiodrama festival (Canterbury) was: Nichts ist, sagt der Weise 🤗. We are very happy about the international recognition.

About my radio play Nichts ist, sagt der Weise:

Embedded in a musical composition with grand piano, harmonium, celesta and vocals, poems, reports, letters and lesser-known notes from her estate tell of her confrontation with post-war Germany, her view of New York Jewry, her move to Israel, where she never quite felt at home, her fascination with Zen Buddhism and Jewish mysticism, but also of the difficult loss of her son – he died of cancer at the age of 31 – and that of her husband. She will never get over either.

‘For me, my radio plays are musically illuminated lands of thought, through which I want to show extraordinary text material, clever imaginative thoughts by female artists, whom I also make allies of my own artistic world.’ Ulrike Haage
