Ex-Berlin Philharmonic staffer killed in terror attack
mainWe have been alerted belatedly to the death of Henrike Grohs, a former education staffer at the Berlin Philharmonic who was murdered during the terrorist attack in Grand-Bassam, Ivory Coast, on March 13th.
After leaving Berlin in 2009, Henrike joined the Goethe-Institut in Johannesburg, co-founding digital concept of Music in Africa with support from the Siemens Foundation. In December 2013 she was appointed head of the Goethe Institute in the Ivorian capital, Abidjan.
Henrike was 51.
The Berlin Phil had posted a news release some 3 weeks ago:

I’ve just seen. It does not mention her important activities beyond the Berlin Phil.
