Making Music for Doom and Freedom
Screening + conversation
(Germany, Israel, 2025)
Dir: Axel Fuhrmann
During the Third Reich, two symphony orchestras were founded: the National Socialist Reich Symphony Orchestra in Munich, which called itself the “Führer’s Orchestra,” and the Palestine Symphony Orchestra in Tel Aviv. While one orchestra served exclusively as a propaganda tool for the Nazis, traveling in four buses through the small towns of the German Reich and the occupied territories, the other consisted of Jewish musicians whom the Polish violinist Bronislaw Huberman was able to save from the impending Holocaust. This orchestra still exists today under the name Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. The film tells the exciting story of the origins and impact of both orchestras for the first time and accompanies the conductor of the Munich Symphony Orchestra, Joseph Bastian, and violinist Linus Roth on their revealing journey to Munich, Nuremberg and Tel Aviv.
(52 min. German, English, with English subtitles)
Following the film screening, a panel discussion will be held featuring special guest, director Axel Fuhrmann and Dr. Ophir Ilzetzky, a composer, musician and researcher specializing in contemporary and experimental classical music. The conversation will be hosted by pianist and musicologist Dr. Anat Viks, director of the Felicja Blumental Music Library, and it will examine the intersections of music, history, and morality through the narratives of the two orchestras. It will focus on Huberman’s character, vision, and legacy, while addressing questions regarding the power of music to serve ideology, save lives, and shape historical memory.
Total length approx. 80 mins.
The event is held in collaboration with “Felicja: Musical Arts Center” and with the support of the Goethe-Institut Israel.
