Many Bauhaus-affiliated artists and musicians were persecuted by the National Socialists and forced into exile, including the Bauhaus student and composer Stefan Wolpe. The moderated concert at Villa Elisabeth on Saturday afternoon is dedicated to his work. The performance follows the various chapters of his life – from the Weimar Republic to Israel to the United States – and reveals how his early experience at the Bauhaus influenced his path to becoming a composer and instructor.
