Philharmonic Discourse: Origin
This Philharmonic Discourse takes up our seasonal focus on identities and deals with the theme of origins: the question of geographical and family roots that shape us and our view of the world. Presenter Christiane Florin welcomes Julia Friedrichs as our guests. The journalist and author has dealt with the themes of home and identity in several film projects.
