Lecture & talk by and with Prof. Einhart Lorenz (University of Oslo) and guests about Willy Brandt’s years in the Norwegian and Swedish exileWilly Brandt was certainly one of the politicians whose prolific work and legacy formed a lasting image of the new Germany after WWII. During the cold war he embodied the hope for peaceful coexistence especially for people in the GDR. Given his distinctive charisma, he has remained in people’s memories. Young Willy Brandt spent the years from 1933 until 1945 in Sweden and Norway. The time in exile were his "political and human apprenticeship" and he himself referred to them as the most important ones in his life. In Norway, Brandt used to point out, he learned that "you don’t climb a mountain by simply running towards its peak". Prof. Einart Lorenz, the leading expert on Brandt who had the opportunity to often speak to the man himself, guides us when we discover which pieces of his "Scandinavian baggage" Brandt kept for the future and which of these we should keep for the European future.

Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ: Main Hall, Amsterdam Diamantfabriek - Conversations with my mother |

| Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ: Main Hall, Amsterdam, Piet Heinkade 1, Amsterdam 1019 BR, Netherlands Saturday 7-Dec-13 08:15pm Diamantfabriek - Conversations with my mother Productiehuis voor muziektheater De Diamantfabriek presenteert de wereldpremière van de nieuwe muziektheatervoorstelling Conversations with my mother. De muziek uitgevoerd, door ensemble Nieuw Amsterdams Peil, is van de Amerikaans-Nederlandse componist Benedict Weisser (1967). De regie is van Matthias Mooij. De voorstelling schetst de ondoorgrondelijke relatie tussen moeder en zoon. Hoorbaar en voelbaar in de vorm van telefoongesprekken die hun hele leven bestrijken en met muziek die het mysterie van de moederliefde vertegenwoordigt.
Componist Benedict Weisser heeft grote affiniteit met vocale muziek en oogstte eerder succes met zijn compositie Kavanah voor tenor Alberto Mizrahi en Cappella Amsterdam, en met zijn kameropera Penthesilea. Voor Nieuw Amsterdams Peil bedacht hij een ongewone combinatie van instrumenten. In de regie van Matthias Mooij maken de musici deel uit van de theatrale wereld. Dit concert is onderdeel van het Babelfestival, waarin het Muziekgebouw partner is.
