Berlin Officials Applaud Initiative
Corea’s Berlin performance took place at the famous Traenenpalast [Palace of Tears] the day before his Vienna concert. And as in Vienna, the concert was attended by government officials, media, community leaders, representatives of religious groups and others concerned with human rights. The Traenenpalast concert was officially opened and concluded by Mark Dillon, the Cultural Attache of the U.S. Embassy in Germany. He expressed U.S. State Department endorsement of freedom of artistic expression and support of Corea’s right to perform in Berlin, and encouraged his speedy return. From the responses in Berlin and Vienna, there is no doubt that Corea will be made more than welcome in both countries. Berliner Zeitung applauded “the master” who “played in all genres ... fusion, free jazz, Latin, classic—Chick Corea seemed to create in all directions according to his mood.” It was apparent that many individuals, in both Austria and Germany, are boycotting the political assault against artistic and religious freedom.
