An orchestra in a brothel
A Leipzig orchestra has played in a brothel last night, as part of a series of concerts in strange places (an euphemism here), to meet its public “away from the atmosphere of classical concert halls”, to quote its music director.
Six musicians and a singer from the Forum for Contemporary Music of Lepzig performed eight works, including one from Kurt Weill and Bertold Bretcht’s Four-Penny Opera (one cannot accuse them of not having given serious thoughts to this program) in the city’s Eros Center.
