The Russian Soul

What's it about?

The Russian soul is not a musical, but a cultural-philosophical concept. - It stands for melancholy, spirituality, inner strength, and the longing for meaning and hope. In music, it finds a particularly impressive expression: Russian composers have transformed emotions and historical experiences into sound. Thus, we encounter, for example, deep spiritual introspection in Rachmaninoff, and the urge for renewal and departure in Stravinsky. The Russian soul is not a secret, but an echo – an echo of longing, faith, and hope. This lieder evening makes the tension between vastness and intimacy, pain and comfort tangible. You will not only hear music but also encounter human stories and feelings.Organized by JSW-Kurt Deutsch
