Displaced Persons - Sinfonietta Dresden

In the organizer's words:

Concert - Henny-Brenner Saal:

Under the direction of Milko Kersten, Sinfonietta Dresden performs compositions that are in danger of disappearing from the collective memory. This applies, for example, to the Jewish composers Vítězslava Kaprálová and Rosy Wertheim. For people affected by war, displacement and cultural uprooting, music can be a place of longing and refuge. It is always part of creating human meaning. Taking responsibility therefore always means looking, listening, naming and developing empathy.

Volker Sondermann will compose a new piece on the theme of the cycle and create a framework with a piece by the Israeli-Palestinian composer Samir Odeh-Tamimi.

Dresden's Stadtschreiber 2025, Alexander Estis, will read texts that he has developed as a poetic language of sound especially for these concerts with the musicians.
