„Und die Vögel werden singen – Ich, der Pianist aus den Trümmern”

In the organizer's words:

Concert reading with Aeham Ahmad and Nicole Kleine

A special afternoon full of music, literature and a moving life story.

The Palestinian-Syrian pianist Aeham Ahmad became internationally known as the "pianist in the rubble". In 2014/15, he played in the Yarmouk refugee camp near Damascus despite the danger to his life.

After the refugee camp was taken over by Islamic State fighters in April 2015, they destroyed his piano during an inspection.

He fled to Europe in 2015 and found a new home in Germany. In 2015, he received the International Beethoven Prize for his commitment to humanity, peace and hope.

Aeham Ahmad's music combines classical music, Arabic melodies and improvisation. It is deeply personal, tells of flight and arrival, of pain and hope, and overcomes boundaries between cultures.

Together with actress Nicole Kleine, he will present his autobiography "And the birds will sing - I, the pianist from the rubble". While Aeham Ahmad plays his touching compositions on the piano, Nicole Kleine reads selected passages from the book. The result is an impressive combination of words and sound that not only makes his moving story audible, but also shows the power that music and literature can unfold.
