MÄDCHENORCHESTER
– Original-Soundtrack zum Theaterstück –
OUT NOW!!!!
On Bandcamp and digital music distributors.
MÄDCHENORCHESTER is the soundtrack of the stage play “Mädchenorchester – Musiktheater mit klassischer und elektronischer Musik nach Erinnerungen der Mitglieder des Frauenorchesters Auschwitz“,
produced by the spreeagenten in 2019.
The production is based on the story of the only female orchestra in a concentration camp, specifically in Auschwitz Birkenau. The girls’ orchestra was assembled on the orders of the SS. It played at the gate when the labour columns marched in and out, and gave concerts in the infirmary for women who were to be gassed the same day.
The girls’ orchestra also had to give private concerts time and again, such as for the National Socialist war criminal, medic and anthropologist Josef Mengele. [Read more about the stage play].
Music composed, performed and produced by Munsha at FarF StudiO | Mix and mastering: Lorenzo Maffia [Storm digital recording studio] | Mix track n°6: Francesco Galdieri// Photos: Anna Motterle.
MÄDCHENORCHESTER is a Munsha’s production, with the support of the Senate Department for Culture and Europe through Kulturprojekte Berlin.
Familienporträt, the single that anticipates it, is for me a rip in a canvas, a delicate incursion into an imaginary cellar as if to secretly investigate the scents and tones of dusty memories.
The song, as well as its, video pays homage to all the lives broken by hatred, to the everyday life denied by the abuse of power, in the hope that our conscience, knowledge, and responsibility will never again allow an abomination, such as the Holocaust, to take place. Wolkenfamilie, the second single of Munsha’s album, MÄDCHENORCHESTER.
