On the 175th anniversary of Fanny Hensel’s death: concert with illustrated talk by musica femina münchen e.V.

Isarphilharmonie Gasteig HP8 Hans-Preißinger-Straße 8, München, Deutschland

A slide lecture with classical music to travel along with provides insights into the biography of the composer Fanny Hensel Mendelssohn (1805-1847), who created a huge œuvre in her short life that has only been and is being rediscovered in our time. In her lecture, musicologist Susanne Wosnitzka (Archiv Frau und Musik) will focus on Fanny Hensel’s trip to Italy in 1839/40, which gave enormous impetus to her creativity and gave her personal freedom for the first time. Stops on her journey included Munich and Hohenschwangau Castle. Its fantastic location probably inspired her to write her Swan Song. It was in Italy that Fanny Hensel was first described as a “true composer” – by none other than the composer Charles Gounod, who admired her talent and who stayed at the Villa Medici as a scholarship holder during this period. Further information on the website We are very much looking forward to it and cordially invite you to participate!
