»Klingende Stadt« (Musical City) has established itself as a popular and fixed event for all amateur musicians in Dresden. An ensemble that is outstanding in this field will perform not only during the traditional event in the city center (see Event No. 31 on May 31), but during an additional concert at the Kreuzkirche, featuring a special project: since its founding in 1961, the Dresden University Orchestra has been an active part of Dresden’s musical life. Now it will be led by its charismatic South American artistic director Helmuth Reichel Silva in a collaboration with the band of the Dresden Music Academy and a soprano from the Wrocław Music Academy, performing two extraordinary works: Henryk Mikołaj Górecki’s Third Symphony, which sets to music a text found on the wall of a prison cell in the Gestapo headquarters at Zakopane, among others, was first performed in 1977. Its breakthrough came in 1992, when it could be found on the pop charts for a few weeks.
