About event
You experience how love steps over differences in our Hatem & Suleika program. With the soloists Kian Soltani on Cello and Kayhan Kalhor on Kemenche.
in Goethes West-östlicher Divan, based on poems of the 14th century Persian poet Hafez, the love between the poet Hatem and his beloved Suleika and Mixing and Westerika. This interaction is also reflected in Kayhan Kalhors Blue as the Turquoise Night, in which the Iranian composer creates a meditative, nocturnal world that switches back and forth between a Western and a more traditional Persian style. The legend of şahmeran, a mythical snake queen from the Anatolian folklore, reflects themes such as wisdom, beauty and sacrifice. After being betrayed, she is killed. Also in the tragic love story Tristan and Isolde leads betrayal to the downfall of the loved ones, but their love is seen as eternal. Mahlers deeply felt ode to his wife Alma shows how love transcends differences.
