Kanonenfieber - Soldatenschicksale will be presented on 20 March 2026 at Carlswerk Victoria in Cologne as a powerful, multidisciplinary concert that examines the human cost of war through a blend of music, spoken testimony and evocative staging. The program brings together instrumentalists, vocal soloists and actors to reinterpret wartime songs, contemporary compositions and archival recordings, creating an immersive soundscape that traces individual soldier fates across different eras. Audiences can expect moments of stark intimacy and sweeping orchestral intensity, with lighting and visual projections used sparingly to heighten memory and reflection rather than spectacle. The organizers have curated the evening to be both historically informed and artistically daring, inviting listeners to reflect on the personal stories behind military conflict while experiencing compelling musical artistry. Carlswerk Victoria's industrial architecture provides a resonant backdrop that amplifies the concert's atmosphere, and accessible seating and program notes will help contextualize the material for visitors. Tickets are available online and at the venue box office, and early booking is recommended due to limited capacity.
