"We wanted to prove that music world is alive - even during the isolation," says co-organizer of the festival #MusikBleibt Annekatrin Hentschel. All festival performers gave up their fees and donate them to a fund that supports freelance artists. Magdalena Kožená and pianist Ohad Ben-Ari presented (at 12.48) Martinů, Novák, Janáček and Dvořák´s songs in a 20-minute live house concert.
