Welcome to the Mauer Broadcast Learning Tool! (English / Deutsch)
Contact: Lisa Bielawa / mauerbroadcast@gmail.com
Mauer Broadcast is a 16-minute composition in which the public came together to sing memories of the Fall of the Berlin Wall. The premiere, part of the MauerFall30 festival organized by Kulturprojekte Berlin, took place at three historic sites - Brandenburg Gate, Alexanderplatz, Humboldtforum / Marx-Engels-Forum - with hundreds of singers from all over Berlin, several times over the course of the festival week, November 4-10, 2019.
Mauer Broadcast can be presented live as an electroacoustic performance for a flexible number of instruments and voices and pre-recorded digital audio.
The project is an initiative of American composer Lisa Bielawa and American artist Sheryl Oring in cooperation with Kulturprojekte Berlin’s week-long celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the Peaceful Revolution - Fall of the Berlin Wall.

downloadable PDF text sheets of the different parts so you can sing along, with real timings (i.e. 00:30) that correspond to the teaching tracks
a “mock-up” track with all of the parts together, so you can hear how your own part will fit into the performance
