Zum Programm

»It is certainly a bold venture to encapsulate a human destiny from the recent past such as that of Dietrich Bonhoeffer in music, to express his thoughts, actions and hopes in sound.« This is how composer Gerhard Kaufmann describes his oratorio, in which he portrays in music the life and teachings of the Christian martyr who died for his convictions because of his resistance to the Nazi regime. Written in 2006 for Bonhoeffer’s 100th anniversary, this striking work now receives its first Stuttgart performance.
