The president of the German-Arab Society (DAG), the publicist and Middle East expert Michael Lüders awarded this week in the FU Berlin the Carsten Niebuhr Prize for International Cultural Exchange to the Oriental scholar Prof. Dr. Walter Sommerfeld (Marburg / Leipzig). Greetings from the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Denmark, Friis Arne Petersen, and the Iraqi Ambassador Dhia Hadi Mahmoud Al-Dabbass, paid tribute to Sommerfeld as a highly respected preserver of the cultural treasures of Mesopotamia during the Iraq War. In the laudation for Sommerfeld by the President of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation Prof. Dr. Hermann Parzinger, he emphasized the importance of cultural and historical cooperation with the peoples of Mesopotamia for world peace. Frank Trende, Head of Department of the State Chancellery of Schleswig Holstein, underlined the importance of Europe’s most famous Oriental explorer, CARSTEN NIEBUHR (1733-1815), who led the research expedition to Arabia Felix organized by the Danish Crown.

Utopia – A Border to Reality
CAMERATA EXPERIMENTAL “Utopia-A Border to Reality”
Igor Strawinsky “The Sodlier’s tale”
Staging: Elle Eisner, Doris Plörer
Conductor: Maria Makraki
Ensemble: Camerata Europaea Berlin
Utopia, a word originating in the ancient Greek language (topos: place) is the ideal place or state of affairs that we long for. Who do I want to be? What kind of world do I want to live in? These are all questions holding true to the head word utopia. However, when conerning oneself with ideal visions, one cannot circumvent their counterparts. One would be talking about a world and a society deviating from utopia that finds itself in a contant state of unrest. Right and wrong, good and evil, light and darkness – our life consists of opposites. The series Camerata Experimental 2019 meets and explores allof these worlds and new realities.
Location: Georg-Neumann-Sall-Udk Berlin
Tickets: tickets@camerata.eu and at the Box Office

Anna Barbara Kastelewicz,
the violinist, concertmaster, and musicologist gives her
lecture with music on the topic:
Music in the Soviet Special Camps
From 1945 to 1950, the Soviet occupation forces imprisoned a total of well over 120,000 people in 10 so-called special camps with total isolation of the prisoners from the outside world. Any meaningful intellectual activity was strictly forbidden. Despite the ban, there were many clandestine, partly tolerated musical and other cultural activities of the prisoners (singing, rarely making music with makeshift instruments, lectures, poetry, arts and crafts (etc.), mainly to escape mental desolation. In (apparent or apparent) contradiction to this prohibition, there was the official “Kultura” and within its framework, among other things, concerts and theater performances by prisoners.

New! – ‘Musical Overload’, Violin & Organ
Duo literature from four centuries
Anna Barbara Kastelewicz (violin) and Matthias Michaely (organ)

The violinist Anna Barbara Kastelewicz performs with the organist Mathias Michaely. The special charm of the recording is that, depending on the stylistic requirements of each composition, all three organs of the church are used. The purchase price of 15,- Euro will fully benefit the further restoration of the Furtwängler & Hammer organ from 1900.
The three organs of the Evangelic Lutheran Monastery Church of St. Marienberg Helmstedt are to be heard
Antonio Bertali (1605 – 1669):Sonata a Violino Solo No. 1, score book Ludwig, 1662.

50 years after the Prague Spring – the current program of the Bode Quartet 2018
“Too long we have lived in the dark, let us step into the light.”
-Alexander Dubcek
The expression“Prague Spring” is associated with one thing above all: its violent end. On the 50th anniversary of the Prague Spring and the self-immolation of Jan Palach, the Bode Quartet presents the music of Kurt Hauschild, who dealt intensively with this theme in his eighth string quartet.
Kurt Hauschild was born in Berlin in 1933 and lived in the former eastern sector of the city . He first studied philosophy and then turned to mathematics, which he practiced until 1985. Already in his youth he made music and composed, but hid his work from the public until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
His compositions include twelve string quartets, nine piano sonatas and other chamber and piano music. His models are the composers of the Viennese Classical period. The compositional style that Hauschild pursues is an expression of his ideological position, which is committed to the spirit of the Enlightenment. He composes exclusively tonal.
All info can be found on the Ensemble Site of the Bode Quartets.
Latest CD
The 8th Quartet is Hauschild’s only quartet that has a concrete occasion: Jan Palach’s self-immolation on Wenceslas Square in Prague after the Soviet invasion of the CSSR in 1969. Kurt Hauschild wanted to express the hopelessness and despair of that time musically.
For 16,85 € + 2,80 € packing and shipping costs you can buy the CD directly from us.
