Carolin Emcke & Anja Lechner: Respekt ist zumutbar. Was bedeutet Humanismus heute?

In the organizer's words:

My texts," Carolin Emcke once said, "should be so delicate that they can stand up to simplification." A sentence that anyone who uses language as an instrument should hang above their desk. The award-winning journalist has other important skills: looking and listening carefully. This characterizes her remarkable reportages and essays, which, for example, reveal the connection between violence and climate.
Anja Lechner is an authority in the border area of baroque, new music and improvisation. A few years ago, she collaborated with Emcke on a musical program for her book Gegen den Hass (Against Hate), with works by Silvestrov, Bach and free play. In its stirring totality, it unfortunately fits our times eerily well. And that is precisely why it needs to be heard.

Carolin Emcke is an author and journalist.

Anja Lechner is a cellist who is at home in both classical music and improvisation.
