Concert: Weib und Welt

Prints and drawings by German artist Käthe Kollwitz (1867-1945), one of the most important German artists of the 20th century, are currently being shown for the first time in the National Gallery of Ireland. Kollwitz’s work reminds us of the horror and ultimate futility of war and the exhibition commemorates, in an indirect way, the centenary of WWI.

As part of the exhibition “Käthe Kollwitz – Life, Death and War“ an evening concert featuring rarely heard pieces by female Czech composer Vítēzslava Kaprálová and a Schoenberg work based on a poem by Richard Dehmel will be presented.


Programme:

Clara Schumann: 6 Lieder, Op 13
Rory Musgrave (baritone), Lance Coburn (piano)

Vítēzslava Kaprálová: "April Preludes" Op. 13
