“‘The man in arms must be feared’ is the saying in the once-popular French chanson L’homme armé (15th century). This chanson forms the thematic framework for an extraordinarily relevant concert program on Sunday, September 6, at 4 PM in the Historic Pauliner Church in Göttingen (Papendiek 14, 37073 Göttingen). The Chamber Choir of the University of Göttingen, conducted by Antonius Adamske, will perform the work Advance Democracy by Benjamin Britten, composed in 1938 under the impression of the Munich Agreement. Additionally, the cantata Figure humaine by the French composer and resistance fighter Francis Poulenc will be performed, as well as the world premiere of “…contre les ennemis…” by the renowned Cologne composer Michael Ostrzyga. In his work, Ostrzyga contrasts the archaic call of the chanson L’homme armé with iridescent, colorful sounds.
Already at 12 PM, there will be an introduction to the program and a panel on the interactions between art and democracy at the Forum Wissen.”
