EarthDay@Goethe New Date: May 13! Singer-Songwriter Antje Duvekot in Live Performance

Including her new song 'Anwesenheit', commissioned in honor of Earth Day

What better way to communicate the urgency of climate change and the need to restore our Earth than through a song. We asked award-winning singer songwriter Antje Duvekot to compose a song in German and English in honor of Earth Day, which she debuts Live as part of her performance in our brick courtyard. The song 'Anwesenheit' also premiered as a video on our YouTube Channel on Earth Day itself (April 22, 7 pm) and can be now viewed anytime. A native of Germany living in Somerville, Antje is known for ‘turning fear into resilience and isolation into community’ - we can’t wait to hear the results!
Visitors will be admitted into the courtyard on a first come, first served basis keeping COVID-19 restrictions in mind. All visitors are required to wear a face mask and social distance at all times.

©Antje Duvekot/Robert King Originally born in Germany and transplanted to the US as a young teen, Antje Duvekot, began to hone her observational skills through a lens of biculturalism when she picked up a guitar during that move. In college, the confessional folk of Dar Williams and Ani DiFranco gave her license to share her observations, no matter how personal, in her first emerging songs. She has never let go of that tenet of vulnerability in her two-decade long career as a touring singer-songwriter. In addition to music, Antje also works as an animator (having created music videos for Toad The Wet Sprocket, Dar Williams, Eliza Gylkison, Martyn Joseph, Eliot Bronson and Lori McKenna) and she leads a yearly fan volunteer trip to Guatemala.
