Bauhaus Music 2025
The Bauhaus-Archiv will be a guest at Musikfest Berlin
Although the Bauhaus was not a music conservatoire, it nevertheless exerted a great fascination on many musicians. This is the focal point of the chamber concert presented by Michal Friedländer and Kai Hinrich Müller. German and American composers with a connection to the famous art school are featured such as the ultra-modernist George Antheil and other composers including Paul Hindemith and Kurt Weill. Like many of their colleagues, they were also forced to flee from the National Socialists to the USA where they attempted to restart their careers, for example on Broadway. All three individuals had connections with the Bauhaus, as did Marc Blitzstein whose Bauhaus opera Parabola and Circula will receive its first performance in the Philharmonie Berlin immediately following the lecture-concert.
