THIS RECITAL CAN STILL BE VIEWED HERE.

Ernst Schoen was a radio practitioner, writer and lifelong anti-fascist in Weimar Germany, who developed, in collaboration with his school friend Walter Benjamin and others such as Bertolt Brecht, Hanns Eisler and Anton von Webern, a radical sound and radio practice aimed at the dissemination of communist principles through avant-garde techniques. Having studied music with Ferruccio Busoni and Edgard Varèse, Schoen was also a composer and some of his beautiful 12-tone compositions will be presented at this concert.
