Dear Friends of the German Consulate General,
Welcome to the lastest edition of our newsletter NYConsulate Events! After the successful collaboration of German and American highschool students who were "Dancing to Connect" in the World Financial Center's Winter Garden, the German Consulate welcomes The BerlinBronxConnection, a youth project which brings together young people from the cities of Berlin and New York (the Bronx in particular), using Hip Hop music as a common language. Before their perfomance at the German House, Barbara Greenspan will give an insight into her new book "Live Your Legacy Now!: Ten Simple Steps To Find Your Passion and Change the World".
Later this month, we invite you to a special concert honoring the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Wall in Germany. Corinna Simon, a talented and well-known pianist, will present contemporary music from the former GDR and West Germany and take you on a musical journey into a part of Germany’s history.
Both events are free and open to the public, but please submit your RSVP via e-mail.
We hope to seeing you at one of the events!
