Typhoon Haiyan, the most powerful storm recorded in recent history, swept through the Philippines two weeks ago, leaving death and massive devastation in its wake. Tonight’s program pays tribute to the countless Filipinos from the Visayas region who have lost their loved ones, homes and livelihoods, and who are now struggling to rebuild their lives from the ruins, with the help of their friends and neighbors from around the world. Our playlist features the recently released Songs for the Philippines, an all-star charity album whose proceeds will aid the typhoon victims.

The word „jubilee“ is defined as a time or season for rejoicing. It is a special anniversary celebrated after something or someone has completed a certain number of years of existence or activity. For example, last year Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain celebrated her diamond jubilee, or the 60th year of her coronation. Or, at the Salzburg Festival last summer, the 200th anniversary of Giuseppe Verdi was celebrated through productions of his opera Don Carlo and Falstaff. On tonight’s program we will talk about other jubilees closer to home, one of them being the 15th anniversary of the Radiofabrik.

On tonight’s program, in celebration of the European Day of Languages, we will talk about the origins of this celebration, take note of some fascinating facts about languages, and see the connection between migration and multilingual countries.
