👤 Patron: State Minister Markus Blume Performers Michela Varvaro Soprano Misora Ozaki Piano Jeremias Pestalozzi Violin and host Barna Károly Cello Program Works by German and Italian composers from the 1930s and 1940s, including: Erwin Schulhoff (1894-1942): Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 2 (1927) Ilse Weber (1903-1944): “Ich wandre durch Theresienstadt” & “Wiegala” Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962): Recitativo and Scherzo-Caprice Leone Sinigaglia (1868-1944): “Tre Canti” Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (1895-1968): “Chant hebraique” Paul Ben-Haim (1897-1984): “Variations of a Hebrew Melody” Matthias Keller (*1956): “In Remembrance” Description At the Allerheiligen-Hofkirche in Munich, When Music Remembers brings Germany and Italy together for a very special friendship concert. To mark the 75th anniversary of German-Italian relations, this evening invites you to a profound musical reflection on memory, reconciliation, and friendship. With the founding of the Federal Republic in 1949 and the resumption of diplomatic relations in 1951, a path of understanding began—one that today is among Europe’s pillars. The concert recalls this shared responsibility not to forget the crimes of National Socialism and Fascism—and at the same time makes visible the peacebuilding power of culture. The program features works created during that dark era that are performed far too rarely today. Their juxtaposition, together with the accompanying presentation by Jeremias Pestalozzi, makes it possible to experience how music connects people across political and historical ruptures. Come in, take a seat, and experience a shared history of remembrance at the concert—phrase by phrase, gently carried by the church’s intimate atmosphere.
