2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. To mark the occasion, composer Marc Sinan, together with many other artists from six countries, is developing a multi-perspective European peace oratorio, which will be brought together in Hamburg as a musical project of remembrance and the future. BEFREIUNG takes its starting point in the polyphony of carefully researched testimonials from people who, representing millions of untold fates, remember the end of the war and their respective ‘liberation’. Musicians from Ensemble Reflektor and the Marc Sinan Company join forces with Spoldzielnia muzyczna contemporary ensemble (Poland), Ensemble C Barré (France), Ensemble degli Intrigati (Italy) and Ensemble Metamorphosis Belgrade (Serbia) to form a project orchestra under the musical direction of Andrea Molino, which, together with the Neue Vocalsolisten and Hamburg choirs, aims to set a radiant musical signal for a peaceful future in remembrance of the past.
