Marc Neikrug Through Roses

Enlarge

When the renowned German actor Udo Samel played the traumatised Jewish violinist in Through Roses in Berlin in 2015, Wolfgang Behrens wrote: "He escaped the horrors of the camps and relives his traumatic experiences over and over again, triggered by certain key stimuli: individual words or music. Neikrug quotes extensively, in varying degrees of distortion, music from the German tradition, which was also the music of the perpetrators: from the Kaiserquartett to Tristan und Isolde and Bach." Villa Musica scholarship holders are working with Samel on this great piece of modern music theatre created by a former Rolandseck scholarship holder: Marc Neikrug, world-renowned as the piano partner of Pinchas Zukerman, now director of his own chamber music festival in Santa Fe.
