A Poetic Concert Evening Between Schwerin and Wuppertal

The concert exchange My Heart Rests Weary will bring together poetry, song art, and the unique energy of two partner cities on October 31, 2026, at the Perzina Hall in Schwerin. The focus will be on musical settings of Else Lasker-Schüler - one of the most influential voices of German Expressionism - as well as songs and arias from the competition Jugend musiziert.

When Language Becomes Sound

The project arose from the friendship between Schwerin and Wuppertal and aims for an evening that does not explain poetry but makes it audible. The poems of Else Lasker-Schüler appear here in different musical colors: sometimes fine and chamber music-like, sometimes expressive and filled with great emotional tension. This creates a concert experience that closely intertwines literature and vocal music.

Voices, Harp, and Piano in Dialogue

On stage, artists from Schwerin and Wuppertal come together with Martina Scharstein, Reinhard Lippert, Kathrin Montero Küpper, Alexandra Petkou, and Tanja Tismar. This lineup promises not a grand showmanship but concentration, precision, and an intense stage performance where every phrase matters. Especially in the Perzina Hall, whose acoustics have been appreciated for decades, the sound unfolds particularly closely and directly.

A Room with History

The Perzina Hall in the historic Perzinahouse is a place with musical tradition. The building at Wismarsche Straße 144 is one of Schwerin's distinctive cultural addresses and offers a setting that matches lyrical density and fine orchestration. For visitors, this creates not just a concert but an evening filled with atmosphere, history, and audible closeness between the audience and performers.

Literary Depth Meets Live Atmosphere

The choice of Else Lasker-Schüler as the intellectual centerpiece gives the program additional radiance. Her language is rich in imagery, idiosyncratic, and surprisingly modern to this day. In conjunction with the musical contributions, a concert experience emerges that oscillates between intimacy and expression, firmly engaging the audience's mood from the very first note.

Conclusion

My Heart Rests Weary promises an evening on October 31, 2026, for all who love concert, literature, and expressive vocal music. Those who wish to experience Schwerin on this autumn evening with open ears should mark this date and witness the special interplay of poetry and music live.
