Hören, was verboten war

In the organizer's words:

Concert and talk on the anniversary of the pogrom night.

On the anniversary of the Pogrom Night, in which Jewish institutions and synagogues were destroyed in 1938, Jugend musiziert scholarship holders and prizewinners pay tribute in a concert to composers who were persecuted during the Third Reich. Their music was also considered "undesirable" and could no longer be performed.

In a short lecture, musicologist Dr. Sophie Fetthauer (University of Hamburg) will shed light on the history of the Hamburg Jewish Chamber Orchestra, which existed for a short time in 1934/35. It offered Jewish musicians who had become unemployed as a result of the anti-Semitic measures of the Nazi regime a temporary field of activity and has gained a certain degree of notoriety since the Jewish Chamber Orchestra Hamburg, newly founded in 2018, referred to its history.

A joint event by the Jugend musiziert Förderverein Hamburg e.V. and the St. Nikolai Memorial.
