The Consulate General Leipzig added a U.S. program element to the Saxony-Anhalt festival “Altmaerkisches Musikfest.” Actor Martin Hahnemann and cellist Ralf Werner fascinated their audience in the city library with an unusual combination of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" and atmospheric jazz. Gardelegen mayor Fuchs opened the evening by stressing the importance of German-American cooperation.
