Eckart von Hirschhausen - „Musik macht glücklich und rettet die Welt“ // Konzertlesung mit Eckart von Hirschhausen, Christoph Reuter (Klavier) & Tanja Tetzlaff (Cello)

In the organizer's words:

The Harbour Front Literature Festival is looking forward to a special evening with Eckart von Hirschhausen. Our patron and founder of the Healthy Earth-Healthy People Foundation will be opening his "practice" for music, humanity and the courage to change at the Elbphilharmonie. The doctor, science journalist and bestselling author combines humor with attitude, science with joie de vivre - and asks: How can we live well - with ourselves, with each other and on this planet? What does a coral reef sound like? And what makes us sound?

Music is everywhere, in nature, in all cultures of the world and medicine is currently rediscovering its healing power for body and soul. Together with pianist Christoph Reuter and cellist Tanja Tetzlaff, you will experience classical music and cabaret, goosebumps and singing, lots of improvisation and surprising aha moments, how music shapes us even before we are born, how it makes us happy - and can even save the world a little.

A doctor's appointment for physical, mental and planetary health. All health insurance companies.

To the program:

Music makes us happy - and saves the world combines musical impact and scientific knowledge with personal passion. It is an appeal for more connection - with music, with nature, with life. Eckart von Hirschhausen pleads for more listening - in music as well as in togetherness - and shows how much music can be not only an emotion but also a social compass.
