Classical Works by Persecuted Geniuses

On November 8, 2026, the 2nd Symphony Concert will take place at the theater tent at Küchengarten in Schwerin, conducted by the Mecklenburg State Orchestra. This concert is a tribute to many talented but often forgotten composers whose works have been unjustly pushed into the background. On this evening, compositions by Franz Schreker, Kurt Weill, Henriëtte Bosmans, and Viktor Ullmann will be presented. These composers had to endure persecution or discrimination due to their origin or political situation, which could not suppress their artistic expression.

Visitors can look forward to a diverse and emotionally deep music program that celebrates the musical works of great artists who have made remarkable contributions to classical music despite difficult circumstances. Each individual piece in the program promises a unique performance and invites the listeners to immerse themselves in a world full of sound and history.

The event tent offers a unique atmosphere suited for both hardcore classical fans and newcomers. Whether you are inspired by the energy of Weill or the expressiveness of Ullmann, the Symphony Concert is an event not to be missed.
