I SOLISTI and ChorWerk Ruhr present a compelling four-part cycle with music by Stravinsky, Weill, Eisler, Schönberg and Hessenberg. From war and loss to hope and recovery: a powerful concert where conflict and resilience come together. We live in turbulent times: war is closer than we would like, peace is more fragile than ever. In this four-part cycle by I SOLISTI and ChorWerk Ruhr, global unrest resonates in music that makes struggle, loss and hope tangible. The concert opens with war: Stravinsky's L'Histoire du Soldat sets the tone, followed by moving works by Weill and Eisler that make chaos and destruction palpable. Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht's Berliner Requiem forms a confrontational highlight - an intense portrait of loss and despair. The finale offers hope: music that seeks peace and recovery. Touching choral works by Schönberg and Hessenberg let the universal desire for harmony and peace ring out - a moment of breathtaking beauty in a world full of conflicts. Thus emerges a concert that confronts, moves and lets the resilience of humanity resound.
