Ob die Granatbäume blühen - Ein literarisch-musikalischer Dialog, der über den Tod hinausführt - Liebeserklärung und Epitaph zugleich.

A literary-musical evening featuring a reading from Gerhard Meier's last work, "Ob die Granatbäume blühen", a tender book of remembrance for his late wife Dorli that deals with love, transience and mourning. The reading leads through a song recital with pieces spanning three centuries, by Bach, Brahms, Cornelius, Dvořák, Haydn, Poulenc, Schoeck and Wolf. Those taking part include Mona Petri as speaker, Eriko Kagawa on piano and Niklaus Kost as bass-baritone. The evening is produced by Zimmer-Theater Ariane Winterthur.
