Brundibár. Reading in German and Ukrainian and Music
We look forward to the readings with music for children on Sunday 26 April 2026 in the Pasinger Fabrik in Munich, a project which is part of our Brundibár. Reading and Gift Project for Children. The project is under the patronage of general Musical Director of the Bavarian State Opera Vladimir Jurowski. The music for this event is newly arranged by Richard Whilds. And., we are happy to say: The event itself is under the musical direction of Vladimir Jurowski, who is playing the piano!
We would like to give our heartfelt thanks to Susanne Gargerle, a member of the first violins in the Bavarian State Orchestra since 1993 and a member of Room 28 for several years now, for ensuring that the Brundibár children’s book found its way onto her boss’s desk. What a miracle this has brought about!
We would also like to thank the Kulturforum München-West, especially Dr. Ulrich Rosenfelder, who was enormously committed to the project, so that it can now soon take place in cooperation with the Bavarian State Opera at the Kultur- und Spielraum e.V./Kinder- und Jugendkulturwerkstatt Pasinger Fabrik.
Ukrainian children will get the Ukrainian Brundibár-book as a gift in the sign of solidarity.

Brundibár - the opera by Hans Kása and Adolf Hoffmeister, and a children's book are at the beginning of our project. Because the story of Aninka and Pepíček and the organ grinder Brundibár is a story about the power of friendship and solidarity. Read about our Brundibár. Reading and Gift Project:
The Creation of a Lasting Memory
...is the name of the new 46-page brochure by Hannelore Brenner that presents the Room 28 project of remembrance shedding light on what has been created over the last 30 years (book, exhibition, theater-play) and what has evolved from it: the educational project, our association, the Edition Room 28 and much more...
The brochure is aimed at people working in the fields of film, theater, exhibition and education who might want to play a role in creating an extraordinary multimedia lasting memorial. If you are interested, let us know.
