Music Against Oblivion: Winner Concert in Schwerin

On November 13, 2026, the 8th concert in the KON-Takte series at the Brigitte Feldtmann Hall is dedicated to musical remembrance. Winners of the International Interpretation Competition for Music in Exile Rostock will bring works to the stage that are shaped by persecution, exclusion, exile, and the political upheavals of the 20th century.

An Evening Between Remembrance and Departure

At the center is the Duo Laterne with Zihao Wang on saxophone and Xintian Zhu on piano. The two young musicians from Munich received the 1st prize at the first international competition. Their combination of rich saxophone tone and precise piano playing opens an immediate access to rarely performed repertoire.

Rarely Heard Works, Strong Sound Images

The program includes Wolfgang Jacobi's sonata, Paul Ben-Haim's Three Songs Without Words, and Darius Milhaud's Scaramouche. The selection navigates through different sound languages of 20th-century music: from concentrated chamber music to lyrical lines to rhythmic agility and French elegance.

A Young Generation Gives a Voice to Forgotten Music

Other winners interpret works by Paul Hindemith, Dick Kattenburg, Kurt Weill, and Arnold Schönberg. The concert combines historical responsibility with vibrant stage performance. In precise interplay, in chamber music synchronization, and in direct dialogue between instruments, an intense live atmosphere is created.
