Fragile Welt

»Die Idee für dieses Album entstand, nachdem ich den Libanon, mein Heimatland, verlassen und mein Leben im Exil neu beginnen musste«, erzählt die libanesische Sängerin und Songwriterin Tania Saleh über »Fragile« – ein Werk über Verlust, Unsicherheit, Hoffnung und die Suche nach einem Platz in dieser Welt. Gemeinsam mit ihrem Ensemble verbindet sie arabischen Pop, Folk, Jazz und elektronische Klangwelten zu einem vielschichtigen Sound, der Tradition und Gegenwart verbindet und die Fragilität unserer Zeit hörbar macht – eindringlich und mit großer emotionaler Intensität.

Die Songs greifen konkrete Erfahrungen auf, lassen persönliche Texte auf globale Themen treffen: Leben im Exil, das Gefühl von Fremdheit, politische Spannungen und ökologische Sorgen – sowie Fragen nach Identität, Zugehörigkeit und Zukunft. »Wo ist mein Platz in dieser riesigen Maschine? Was wird von uns übrigbleiben, wenn wir nur noch ›den Himmel‹ haben? Wo ist Heimat? Wo ist Liebe?«, singt Saleh.

Coughing, clapping, chatting – Tips for your concert visit

A concert at the Elbphilharmonie is a unique experience for both audience and artists. Guests and musicians alike rave about the precise acoustics in the Grand Hall. You can hear every note, even from the highest balcony.

Unfortunately, the opposite is also true: even presumably quiet noises from the audience are clearly audible in the entire hall. We therefore ask our visitors to take the following recommendations into consideration: Tips for your concert visit
Photography and video recordings

It is forbidden to take photographs or record videos during a concert or event. Video recordings and photography are permitted for private purposes only on the Plaza and in the foyers as well as before the start or following an event in the concert hall, provided that you respect the privacy of other visitors and do not interfere with regular business operations. Employees may not be photographed or filmed.

Photography, audio or video recordings of concerts and events are strictly prohibited.

Event-related video recordings or photographs for editorial or commercial purposes must be authorised by the Press Office of the Elbphilharmonie.
