From concert halls to laboratories, from crowded city squares to quiet study rooms, Germany has given the
world music, ideas, and discoveries that echo across time. These Daily Celebrations
gather actors, philosophers, scientists, writers, leaders, and artists whose lives are connected to
Germany and whose work continues to inspire the world.
As poet Heinrich Heine observed, “When words leave off, music begins.” This page offers a place to begin exploring those voices and stories.
“We Germans are a fine and ancient people, you know. Very diligent, smart, efficient. But we love life. We sing, we hike, we write great music and poetry.” ~ John Jakes, Homeland, p.43
