Annika Fuhrmann is a German-Finnish versatile singer, musician, and sound artist, who feels most at home in the fields of experimental music theater, sound art, improvisation, and contemporary music. Annika graduated from the Sibelius Academy with a master’s degree in music. In recent years, she has actively sought to break away from her classical singing background. Instead of technical perfection, she is interested in the diverse use of the human voice as an expressive tool with a direct and unadorned connection to the listener. Annika has premiered several works composed for her and participated in interdisciplinary projects with artists from various fields.
Songs from Exile is Annika Fuhrmann’s solo performance based on songs by Austrian composer Hanns Eisler (1898–1962) and German composer Paul Dessau (1894–1979), set to the texts of Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956). These songs were created between 1933 and 1948, during the time the writer and composers were in exile across Europe. The performance blends German and Finnish. A travel harmonium, crafted in 1930s Germany, serves as the minimalist orchestra.
