Concert to Make the German Division Musically Experiencable - Dresden Sinfoniker's 'Over There' Concert Recreates Fall of Berlin Wall

On German Unity Day, the Dresden Sinfoniker presents a unique concert titled 'Over There', aiming to recreate and reflect upon the historical division and reunification of Germany. The event, held at the Hof Freedom Hall, will feature a mix of pop, rock, and classical music, including works by Igor Strawinsky and commissioned pieces by Markus Lehmann-Horn and Charlotte Bray.

The concert, a personal project for Intendant Markus Rindt who fled from the GDR in 1989, will begin with the audience and orchestra separated by a wall, mirroring the Berlin Wall. Seating in the east or west half of the hall will be decided by chance for the first part of the concert. The stage will be set with uniformed border guards and a conductor on a watchtower, immersing attendees in the historical atmosphere. The concert program includes commissioned works that reflect on past and present divisions, both within Germany and globally, drawing parallels with current global entry divisions and alienation. The concert seeks to musically recreate the division of Germany, with the wall eventually coming down to symbolize reunification.

The 'Over There' concert is a poignant reminder of Germany's past and a call for unity in the face of global divisions. With its unique staging and blend of musical genres, it promises to be a thought-provoking and emotive experience. The concert is part of a wider series of events curated by Intendant Markus Rindt, who continues to use his personal experiences to shape cultural programming.
