60 years of longing for peace – Hope lives on

For generations, people in Berlin have shared and passed on the longing for peace on the Korean Peninsula.

Their story comes to life through music – in the voices of individuals, in moments of connection and, ultimately, in the shared sound of several generations.

A concert that weaves together two stories of division and hope:

Berlin and the Korean Peninsula.

From Berlin to Korea, from memory to the future. Hope lives on.
