And here is the video trailer to my new album! 📹: @heuermannmatthias • Posted @withregram • @berlinclassicsmusic The new album 'Odyssee' by pianist @danaedoerken is out now (link in bio). The German-Greek pianist Danae Dörken has known the 24 books of Homer’s Odyssey since childhood. “The Odyssey has fascinated me ever since I was small. Even when I was a little girl, my grandparents would read it to me before I went to sleep,” she recalls in her booklet talk with Jesper Klein. The wanderer’s tale from classical antiquity is a story of travelling, making mistakes, going astray, a tale of dreams and landings, and for Danae Dörken it is more contemporary than ever: “I see this as a highly topical story. I believe we are embarked upon a modern Odyssey.” Today’s many challenges, like climate change or worldwide migration as a result of extreme hardship and often violence, keep bringing modern society to unavoidable forks in the road. And the road taken can be very quickly revealed as a dead end, causing a further change of direction. Corona precautions have repeatedly reminded us of that during the past two years. Rather than losing heart, Danae Dörken finds it “exciting to be living at such a point in time … on such a journey, there are hopeful moments and moments of despair”. And so she has ventured out on her debut album “Odyssee” from Berlin Classics on a quite deliberate musical journey. The album’s release date is April 22, 2022. #berlinclassics #berlinclassicsmusic #danaedoerken #danaedörken #odyssee #pianomusic #classicalpiano #newclassicalmusicalbum #classicalmusic2022 #pianistsofinstagram

Thank you @swr2.de for the portrait in your show „Zur Person“! Head over to their website to listen to the one hour long discussion on current events, my upcoming album on @berlinclassicsmusic , my festival ( @molyvos_festival ) and the magic of music! Posted @withregram • @swr2.de "Als Künstler muss man auch politisch sein. Wenn man eine Plattform hat, um sich zu äußern, sollte man sie auch nutzen", sagt Danae Dörken. 2015 gründete sie gemeinsam mit ihrer Schwester, der Pianistin Kiveli Dörken, das Molyvos International Music Festival auf ihrer Heimatinsel Lesbos. Da war sie gerade 25 Jahre alt. Seither finden in Molyvos jedes Jahr im Sommer Konzerte statt: für Einheimische, Gäste und Geflüchtete. Ein Zeichen der Menschlichkeit und Solidarität auf höchstem künstlerischen Niveau. Jenseits des Festivals ist Danae Dörken in ganz Europa als Solistin und Kammermusikerin unterwegs.
