Celebrate the 100th anniversary of Otto Dix's monumental cycle of drawings "The War" with KLASSIK underground at a special concert between music and visual art.

The etchings, created in 1923-24 and inspired by Dix's own experiences in the First World War, are impressive, almost documentary depictions of the horrors of war.

Remo Rink will show a video presentation of Dix's 50 etchings while musicians from the Gewandhaus Orchestra perform works by Kurtág and Shostakovich. Both composers experienced the trauma of warfare. The concert promises to be a moving experience that unites art and music in their emotional intensity.

Dmitri Dmitriyevich Shostakovich: Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 7

György Kurtág Officium Breve in Memorial Andreae Szervánszky

Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich's: String Quartet No. 8.

European Realities

The exhibition project European Realities at the Gunzenhauser Museum includes positions from various European countries, in particular from Northern, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. The diverse realist movements that were visible almost everywhere in Europe in the 1920s and 1930s are shown on an up to now unique scale. The exhibition tells of hunger and misery, of the modernisation of industry, reports on the economic upswing and cultural prosperity, of technical progress, the big city and nightlife, emancipation and diversity. The exhibition is part of the main programme of the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025.
