About

“I have taken the time during the lockdowns to devise a program that takes the themes many of us have been dealing with (quietude, silence, hope, introversion, sadness, hope - almost a nine step program of overcoming this ‘thing’) and express them through the songs of Korngold, Schreker and Alma Mahler. The idea is to call it ‘Die stille Stadt’. A city that buzzes almost immediately falls silent and stands still...” - Dorothea Herbert & Peter Nilsson
