Please note: this event takes place in German.
On the initiative of Igor Levit, the Elbphilharmonie is making an appeal to humanity with a solidarity concert on Monday, 16 September 2024. Numerous artists will gather on the stage of the Elbphilharmonie Grand Hall to protest against the rise of anti-Semitism in Germany. The concert will be broadcast live in the Elbphilharmonie Mediatheque from 20:00 (CET) and will be available on demand afterwards.
An increasingly blatant anti-Semitism has also been observed in Germany since 7 October at the latest; hatred and incitement are booming. Since then, artists led by Igor Levit have intervened several times to counter contempt for humanity with the power of art and the spirit of cooperation. Now music will be played, spoken and read together on stage at the Elbphilharmonie. All the artists involved want to set an example that is not merely symbolic. The proceeds from ticket sales will go to OFEK e.V., a counselling service specialised in anti-Semitic violence and discrimination, and to the Stiftung Bornplatzsynagoge, a foundation whose new building of the Bornplatz Synagogue is a symbol of hope for the future of Jewish life in Germany.
