On 21 March 2026 Huxley's Neue Welt in Berlin will host Kanonenfieber - Soldatenschicksale, a powerful concert that combines contemporary and historical music, spoken testimonies and evocative staging to examine the personal and collective lives of soldiers. The evening features leading German and international performers interpreting newly commissioned works alongside period pieces, supported by immersive visuals and narrative fragments that guide the audience through intimate stories of courage, loss and survival. Curated to provoke reflection rather than glorify conflict, the program balances spare chamber arrangements with fuller orchestral moments to create a cinematic yet contemplative atmosphere in the iconic venue. Audience members should secure tickets early as seating is limited, and organizers have arranged opportunities for post-performance discussion to deepen engagement with the themes. This concert promises a moving, thought-provoking experience for anyone interested in history, music and the human consequences of war.
