cancelled: Joseph Joachim - Identities • Identitäten

Joseph Joachim (1831-1907) was one of the most important violinists of the 19th century, networked with the greatest musicians of his time. Born in Hungary and of Jewish origin, he spent and worked for the most part of his life in Germany, so that interesting aspects arise regarding his identity. In 1869, he was appointed university director and professor at the Königliche Akademische Hochschule Berlin and embodied the German musical tradition with his interpretation of the music of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms. In an atmosphere of increasing anti-Semitism, Joseph Joachim remained loyal to other Jewish musicians, but was often confronted with prejudice and hostility. How does the life and work of Joachim as a musician and public figure overlap with his time, place and culture?
