Dr. Alessandra Barabaschi: „Geheimnisse der Virtuosinnen" – Vortrag und Lesung

In the organizer's words:

BücherFrauen Regionalgruppe Köln/Bonn-Rhein-Ruhr in cooperation with the BeginenSalon

Venue: BeginenSalon, Markmannsgasse 750667 Cologne

What drives a young violinist to fight against her parents' will? Why does a daughter sacrifice her freedom for her mother's unfulfilled dreams? And how far will a musician go to save her father?

The stories of Teresa Milanollo, Leonora Jackson McKim and Alma Rosé show how family dynamics in the 19th and 20th centuries determined success, failure and even life and death. These three women represent more than just musical masterpieces. Their stories are about courage, sacrifice and the invisible threads that interweave family and fate. They raise questions that affect us all: How much are we willing to sacrifice for our dreams, for our loved ones or for the expectations of others?
