Events for 7. April 2023 - 14. May 2023

Fanny Hensel, Oratorium, Düsseldorfer Symphoniker

Tonhalle Düsseldorf Ehrenhof 1, Düsseldorf, Deutschland

In 1831, four times as many people died in the Berlin cholera epidemic as in Corona's first year. Fanny Hensel was a great figure in the city's musical life and her cantata was a deep bow and a glimmer of hope at that time. It shows an exceptional talent who could not attain the rank of her brother only because of social norms. The concert programme will have achieved its goal when we can delete this movement.   Programme Fanny Hensel ORATORIO BASED ON IMAGES FROM THE BIBLE Modest Mussorgsky A NIGHT ON THE BARE MOUNTAIN (ARRANGEMENT: NIKOLAI RIMSKI-KORSAKOV) Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy THE FIRST WALPURGIS NIGHT OP. 60 Participating Düsseldorf Symphony Orchestra Anke Krabbe SOPRAN Katrin Wundsam MEZZOSOPRAN Thomas E.

Fanny Hensel – „Mit den Fingern singen“, Berlin

Anlegestelle Jüdisches Theaterschiff Berlin Straßburger Str. 47, Berlin, Deutschland

Fanny Hensel - „Mit den Fingern singen“ Judith Kessler, reader Elżbieta Sternlicht, piano Fanny Hensel, born Mendelssohn Bartholdy, is considered the most important composer of the 19th century and an exceptionally talented pianist. However, only her brother Felix became famous. The granddaughter of the great Enlightenment philosopher Moses Mendelssohn had to spend her short life "composing" against the resistance of her family and bourgeois etiquette, yet she left behind well over 450 works, only a fraction of which have been printed to this day. Elżbieta Sternlicht plays compositions from various creative periods of Fanny Hensel as well as Felix and Arnold Mendelssohn, which Judith Kessler classifies textually along her life story and the events in Berlin society of the time.
