Chatter at the Museum: Ernst Krenek, Erwin Schulhoff, and Erik Satie

Description

Chatter ABQ’s August 2025 concert series is inspired by the exhibition Modern Art and Politics in Germany 1910-1945, which opens August 23. The series features works by composers whose work was censored as “degenerate music” by the Nazi regime in 1930s Germany.

This concert features several composers who were targeted by the Nazis, including two Austrians, Ernst Krenek and Erwin Schulhoff. Both were influenced by jazz, Dadaism, and the artistic avant-garde of the time. While Krenek moved to the United States in 1938, Schulhoff was arrested in Prague in 1941 and died in a concentration camp the following year. This program also features Erik Satie’s Truly Flabby Preludes (For a Dog), in celebration of the exhibition Good Dogs: Faithful Friends from the Collection on view at the Museum.

Chatter at the Museum is made possible in part by New Mexico Arts and the City of Albuquerque's Urban Enhancement Trust Fund.
