The International Hanns Eisler Society mourns the death of its esteemed and long-standing member of the board, the composer Prof. Dr. Friedrich Cerha. The musicologist em.o.Univ.-Prof. MMag. Dr. Hartmut Krones dedicated an obituary to Cerha.
Hanns Eisler set 40 socially critical texts by Kurt Tucholsky to inspiring and appropriate music in the 1920s/30s as well as in 1957-1961, not least on the initiative of the singer Ernst Busch.
The new issue of Eisler-Mitteilungen is out. Hannes Heher is editor.

Even if you are not a member of the association, you are welcome to request the publication from our office. We will be happy to send them to you and would appreciate your donation.
Ingala Fortagne and Martin Steuber share a passion: songs by Hanns Eisler. With curiosity, respect and courage for their own interpretation, they find amazingly uncomplicated, artistic arrangements of their own for vocals and electric guitar.
