In 2018, Tomasz Raff premiered Mieczysław Weinberg's song cycles Triptych Op. 99 and Profile Op. 88 at the August-Kestner-Museum in Hanover. In May 2023, after 5 years of historical turmoil in the world, the artist returns to Germany to perform an extended Weinberg programme. The concerts will take place on the 7th of May at 5 p.m. in the innovative co-working space ‘Die Rampe – Hannover’ and on the 6th of May 6 at 7.45 p.m. in Göttingen, in the Clavier-Salon run by Prof. Gerrit Zitterbart.
Both recitals will be performed by Tomasz Raff in a duet with pianist Monika Kolasińska. The intimate atmosphere of the recitals and the important message contained in the raw, sparing form of Mieczysław Weinberg's music will be enriched by video-art visualizations by Zuzanna Grzegorowska.
Although Wajnberg composed his last songs about 40 years ago, they have become alarmingly relevant now, when the ghosts of the almost forgotten wartime past have awakened again.
