The 09th of November – Schicksalstag der Deutschen
In a time when democracy is under pressure worldwide – whether through populist movements, disinformation, or social inequality – the music ensemble Attendorn wants to actively advocate for an open, inclusive society.

This year's annual concert under the motto "09. November – Schicksalstag der Deutschen" therefore addresses the hard and long struggle for unity and democracy in Germany. With the specially composed work of the same name by the Attendorn composer Lukas Steinberg (recipient of the Attendorn local heritage award 2023), the music ensemble presents a journey through the history of German democracy. But not only the past will be illuminated: The working group on memorial culture at the St. Ursula Gymnasium Attendorn will creatively engage with the significance of the 09th of November for today, before the music ensemble concludes the concert evening with iconic songs from more recent German history.

Together, we aim to create a moving connection between the past and the present and encourage reflection on the values that shape our society. Because "only those who know the past can understand the present and shape the future" (August Bebel). You are cordially invited!

Admission: 19:00 Uhr
