War always raises the same questions: why? What for? Shostakovich, Hartmann and Haydn asked these questions too. Their music, filled with sorrow and solace, reminds us of the past and urges us to reflect. This concert is a moment of contemplation and connection - for now, for tomorrow, forever.

9. Nosferatu
Nosferatu is one of the first films to define the vampire genre. To get around copyright laws, the elegant Dracula was transformed into the monstrous Count Orlok, and plot and setting were altered. However, Stoker's widow was not to be swayed and had the film seized, except for one copy.... Guaranteed a blood-curdling movie night with live music!
