„OUT OF BERLIN, OVER THE RAINBOW“ EPK feat. Sarah Maria Sun
The first half of the 20th century was a time of radical change—social, technological, and, of course, political. History books tell one version of this era, but what about the voices of the artists, composers, writers, and performers who lived through these turbulent years and reflected them in their art?
As we look back on 80 years of musicians from around the world coming together to share their stories, this program takes us on a journey from evocative monochrome to a vivid world of colors and from darkness to radiant hope. Along the way, we meet wanderers and exiles from Europe, Siberia, and Ukraine who shared their rich cultural heritage while seeking belonging in a fractured world.
This project features the music of Hanns Eisler, Igor Stravinsky, Erwin Schulhoff, Aaron Copland, and Kurt Weill, interwoven with texts by Bertolt Brecht, Georg Kaiser, John Cage, and Frederick Hollander.
We are thrilled to bring to life a unique symbiosis between the voices of four saxophones and the soprano of the extraordinary Sarah Maria Sun. This fusion of sound worlds is powerful, intense, and marked by an emotional depth that truly resonates.
