Das Lied von der Erde with poems by Elisabeth Frischauf
November 2025, saw two Memorable performances of Das Lied von der Erde at the Kurhaus Bad tölz and Bergson Kulturkraftwerk Theater, Munich Germany
Hear the poems: Truth, Shoot'em, a fragment of Love Lingers on the short video below:, extracted from the complete performance.
This Lied von der Erde is an hour-long woven tapestry in memory of the ending of WW II, of Nazi banned music and writing by those who managed to escape and those who perished. Conceived and directed through a contemporary lens, by Martina Veh, with my voice and poems in Soundscape by Christoph Reiserer. Also performing: Soprano, Stephanie Krug; Actor, Stefan Wilkening; Dancer, Alberto Pagani; Conductor, Maria Fitzgerald.

Reading of T.A. Young’s poem, “by the river” and an accompanying sculpture
by Kaete Brittin Shaw
T.A. Young and Kaete Brittin Shaw have never met - except through their art. There will be a reading of the letters they wrote to each other, which are literary works of art in themselves.
Join us for this one-of-a-kind experience! Meet the artists and enjoy refreshments.
