Poetry & Music Evening: “This is my World” in New York and Washington
Depeche Mode songs on the harp
The concert was symbolically held on the anniversary of the death of one of the founding members of Depeche Mode, Andy Fletcher.
The band performed in Bratislava after six years, on 28 May 2023, having presented its newest (15th) album Memento Mori.
The evening was held in the spirit of the idea of the new DM album and Dave Gahan´s words:
“It takes you on a kind of journey that starts at a place, where you say: 'This is my world' and ends with the question 'How can I make the most of it'."
Thanks to the combination of poetic lyrics performed by the exceptional Slovak actor, Marek Majeský, and harp music played by the outstanding harpist, Michal Matejčík, while preserving high performance quality, the audience enjoyed the depth and delight of music and life in the wonderful church atmosphere. 16 songs were performed in total.
