Concert Series ” Echo of the Unheard” | October 15th, 2025 | works by Hans Winterberg

A concert evening dedicated to the chamber music works of the composer Hans Winterberg (1901-1991). Under the title “Echo of the Unheard”, a selection of his works was interpreted by students of the mdw.

Born in Prague, Winterberg’s artistic career was severely impaired by persecution, deportation and exile. As a Jewish composer, he survived Theresienstadt and emigrated to Germany in 1947, where he had to re-establish himself as a musician under difficult circumstances. It was only decades after his death that a rediscovery of his work began – initiated by his grandson Peter Kreitmeir and supported by the Exilarte Center of the mdw in collaboration with the music publisher Boosey & Hawkes.

Katja Kaiser, archivist at the Exilarte Center, curated the program and led through the evening.

Peter Kreitmeir, grandson of Hans Winterberg, was honored by the team at the mdw’s Exile Art Center for his outstanding achievements!
