“The film based on my concert SONGS FOR ETERNITY is now available. It is a very poetic  and heartbreaking film illustrating the music in the ghettos. The concert was filmed in my hometown Muenster. I conceived this project to remind people not to forget. Please watch it.  – Ute”

In Songs for Eternity, Ute Lemper revives songs by Jewish composers that were written in the concentration camps of the Second World War and given to her in a songbook by her agent Orly Beigel.

The moving concert film accompanies the two on their journey to Bergen-Belsen, where Orly’s mother was imprisoned and eventually liberated by the US army. Ute Lemper sensitively and profoundly traces the emotional world of the Jewish composers and gives a touching musical memorial to their past.

This release will be available for purchase on September 20, 2024.
