Roger Willemsen's tribute to music and its heroines and heroes. No other art form was as personal to Roger Willemsen as music: it was a companion from an early age when it came to distilling life. Willemsen's declarations of love for jazz, his bows to classical composers, his sharp defense of artistic existence, and above all, his deep understanding of musicians and their themes are legendary. His unique texts about music are much more than that: they are an expression of a life lived along the line where one engages in activities born of joy or excitement, but never out of indifference. The book premiere of Musik! will be a grand evening in honor of Roger Willemsen, during which fellow artists will read and perform his most beautiful texts about music. Recorded live from the Grand Hall of the Elbphilharmonie.
