Our former artist in residence Patricia Kopatchinskaja cannot get the numerous reports from the world's war zones out of her head. How, the violinist asks herself, do people endure being violently torn from their everyday lives and the constant fear for their lives and loved ones? As a musician, her immediate question is: what possibilities - if any - does music have to alleviate this suffering, at least to some extent? This semi-staged concert with musicians performing flexibly in the hall and fluid instrumentation is Patricia Kopatchinskaja's attempt at an answer: “The Peace Project” reflects the existential suffering caused by war, which has been witnessed and commented on in music for centuries, in a kaleidoscope of baroque and modern works up to the present day. If we have to lose faith in humanity, perhaps the arts can at least partially restore it, is the hopeful, positive conclusion of the evening.
