„Jedenfalls werden wir uns alle dort treffen…“

The history of the Darmstadt Summer Courses has long been told by great men's names: Boulez, Nono, Stockhausen. But women were present from the beginning – as performers, composers, lecturers, organizers, listeners. Juana Zimmermann reconstructs who they were, what they did there and why many of them were forgotten in this groundbreaking study.

Based on extensive archival work with over 450 verified names, the book reveals the diversity of female activities in Darmstadt between 1946 and 1961. It tells of female singers and composers, but also of wives, widows and journalists - and shows the summer courses as a social, aesthetic and political space for action.

An engaging book about a time of cultural awakening - and about structural oblivion. For anyone interested in new music, gender issues and the invisible sides of post-war history.
