Message from the violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter:

I want you all to join me in a moment of silence, a moment of remembrance for one of the world‘s greatest musical leaders – Kurt Masur.

My wonderful friend and collaborator of over 35 years passed away in the night of December the 19th.

Kurt Masur stands for music in Schiller‘s philosophy expressed in his “ode to joy”. His love for people, the moral and humanistic dimension of his life in thought as well as in conduct will be deeply missed around the world.

I have lost a most noble and faithful friend to myself as well as to my children.

The world – my life, will have less exuberance of expressiveness without you, dear Kurt.

I miss you .

We all miss you …
