In a peace concert on 16 January, Ensemble Megaphon commemorates the destruction of Magdeburg during the Second World War – and at the same time all victims of violence. Musicians Lenka Zupková (violin), Vlady Bystrov (clarinet) and Nemanja Lukić (accordion) will perform a wide range of works from the Baroque period to contemporary and original compositions. With improvisations and performances in different locations, they will create meditative soundscapes in the church, enhanced by sensitive lighting. At 7 pm, the audience is cordially invited to sing along to the final chorale „Dona Nobis Pacem“. At the end of the concert, all voices unite with the sounds of the ensemble in a sign of hope and peace.
