Schubert and Eisler at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C.
On February 5, Holger sang a recital at the venerable Library of Congress in Washington D.C. together with Steffen Schleiermacher. The program consisted of selected songs by Hanns Eisler and Franz Schubert. The Coolidge Auditorium was transformed into a salon for an evening of political and socially critical songs that have probably never before been heard at the center of American democracy.
In spring 2025, the Library of Congress will celebrate 100 years of concerts in the library.
