President of the Federal Republic of Germany Frank-Walter Steinmeier reopens the Goethe-Institut Boston
On October 31, the newly renovated Goethe-Institut opened its doors to a special visitor: the President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife along with a delegation from Germany joined us for a special pre-opening celebration. The visit was followed by a joint concert of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Germany’s visiting Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, which wrapped up the yearlong friendship campaign “Wunderbar Together” that boosted German-American cultural ties throughout 2019.
The President offered inspiring words at both venues, thanking the United States for its friendship and emphasizing the importance of upholding transatlantic relations and protecting democratic ideals together. He pointed to the special role the Goethe-Institut has in continuing to build bridges across the Atlantic:
“Not only are these wonderful, newly refurbished rooms the place where many here in New England will encounter the German language for the first time, the Goethe-Institut also provides a forum for people to meet, learn, and forge personal connections. We need forums like this more than ever today.
It is my hope that this building will be a lively venue for discussion and dialogue on what unites and divides us. I hope that it will be a place where people – bearing in mind the great history of U.S.-German relations – will work on our planet’s common future.”
You can listen to Frank-Walter Steinmeier’s speech at the Goethe-Institut and get a taste for the special evening in the videos below.
