Music projects without borders
INTERREG Poland-Saxony
Projects 2021
In 2018, Ars-Augusta eV successfully carried out the project "Discovering Gerhart and Carl Hauptmann together" (partner: Museum Gerhart-Hauptmann-Haus in Hirschberg). In 2020 we are partners with the museum of toys "Henryk Tomaszewski" in Krümmhübel (Karpacz), in a project that has been postponed to 2021 due to the pandemic. In 2021 we are again a partner of the Ceramyki Center in Boleslawiec with a jazz workshop for young people.
In the same year we ourselves are project sponsors of another interesting project: it is about the opera by Carl Maria von Weber "Der Freischütz" and the romance of our mountains.
The projects are funded by the European Regional Development Fund.

"Romance in the Euroregion
experience together"
​
Project sponsor:
Ars-Augusta eV
​
Partner:
"Sudecka Kraina" in Hirschberg
Project duration
02/01/2021 - 10/18/2021
Project description:
200 years ago Carl Maria von Weber wrote one of the most important operas of the Romantic era, "Der Freischütz". The composer is connected to our border triangle (Dresden-Breslau-Prague). He was inspired to write this opera in the Jizera Mountains. We would now like to present the opera in the landscape in which he was then. Another important Romantic artist who was traveling in the Giant Mountains at the same time is Caspar David Friedrich. We will combine the aesthetics of the painter's pictures and the composer's music into a spectacle that will be performed in the landscapes. A workshop will take place after the concept has been prepared. Freelance artists from the region in particular who are affected by the Corona restrictions would benefit from this. Citizens from both countries interested in culture are invited by organizing an excursion. The play will be performed, filmed (video) and presented on the Internet in September. Performances once in the Iser Mountains and once in the Zittau Mountains. A website with texts, photos and videos about the project, the artists and the landscape as well as a brochure is being prepared.

Project goal:
Preservation of the cultural heritage by making music together in the backdrop of nature.
