Pre-eminent German bass-baritone Stephan Loges and pianist Christoph Berner have created this special programme inspired by the works of Käthe Kollwitz (see Event 24), in particular her poignant responses to the atrocities of war and the loss of her children. Mahler's astonishing Kindertotenlieder form the heart of the programme, with other works by Amy Beach, Charles Ives and Ethel Smyth.
