Helga Zepp-LaRouche
“Weil es die Schönheit ist,
durch welche man zur Freiheit wandert”— Friedrich Schiller
Geboren am 25. August 1948 in Trier, machte Helga Zepp-LaRouche nach dem Abitur eine Ausbildung als Journalistin in Hamburg und Hannover. 1971 reiste sie als eine der ersten europäischen Journalisten während der Kulturrevolution mehrere Monate lang durch China. Nach ihrer Rückkehr studierte sie an der Freien Universität Berlin (Politische Wissenschaften, Geschichte und Philosophie), dann in Frankfurt/Main.
Seit 1977 ist sie mit dem amerikanischen Wirtschaftswissenschaftler und Staatsmann Lyndon LaRouche verheiratet. Ihre politischen Aktivitäten führten sie und ihren Mann in viele Länder Asiens, Europas, Iberoamerikas, Afrikas und natürlich in die USA. Dabei arbeitete sie mit zahlreichen Politikern, u.a. der indischen Premierministerin Indira Gandhi und dem mexikanischen Präsidenten López Portillo zusammen.
1984 gründete sie das internationale Schiller-Institut, das sich für eine neue gerechte Weltwirtschaftsordnung, besonders die Entwicklung der Entwicklungsländer und eine Renaissance der klassischen Traditionen aller Kulturen einsetzt. Als Antwort auf den Fall des Kommunismus entwickelte sie zusammen mit ihrem Ehemann und Mitarbeitern das Konzept der Eurasischen Landbrücke und setzt sich dafür seit 26 Jahren international bei Konferenzen und mit Publikationen ein. 2014 initiierte Frau Zepp-LaRouche die bahnbrechende Studie „Die Neue Seidenstraße wird zur Weltlandbrücke“, die zunächst auf englisch, dann auf chinesisch, arabisch und deutsch erschien. Als Vorsitzende des Schiller-Instituts ist sie vor allem in China, aber auch weltweit als „Seidenstraßen-Lady“ (丝绸之路女士) bekannt.
Helga Zepp-LaRouche ist Expertin für das Werk Friedrich Schillers und des Universalgelehrten Nikolaus von Kues. In vielen Essays und Vorträgen hat sie sich intensiv mit philosophischen Grundsatzfragen und dem „Dialog der Kulturen“ auseinandergesetzt.

Schiller Institute Community Chorus
Join us for our first concert since the pandemic! Saturday May 13, 2023, 3 PM
What started out as the 250th birth-year of one of the greatest composers mankind ever produced, quickly presented as a turning point for all of civilization, with multiple crisis hitting all at once demanding soul searching and bold changes. We look to historic leaders such as Schiller and Beethoven for guidance on how to shape the path to a culture worthy of mankind, and will therefore continue the Beethoven celebration into 2021 and beyond. Schiller Institute founder Helga LaRouche recently said, quoting Beethoven’s favorite poet Friedrich Schiller
“it is only through aesthetic education, through great classical art that the ennoblement of mankind can occur. It is time that mankind grew into a new paradigm, where the poets and the artists become the natural leaders of the age”
Through 2020 the Schiller Chorus in Quincy, MA continued rehearsals on spirituals and Beethoven’s mass in C and were able to a “virtual chorus” to the Beethoven celebration concert December 17th; Hear my prayer by Moses Hogan put together with our chorus friends in Germany, the Jena Jubilee Singers. Here is the video.
During 2020 many chorus members also joined the New York Schiller Chorus in joint work on Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis, and we have connected with friends of the Schiller Chorus in various places in the US and even Ibero America.
You are encouraged to join the chorus, and partake in rehearsals and events, currently all online, with our friends in the greater Schiller Choral movement! Watch the promo video here.
Rehearsals take place at Christ Church, 12 Quincy Ave. in Quincy, MA, at 7PM on Fridays.
Please contact us for the details on how to join!
See “activities” below for previous events, and don’t forget to follow us on facebook!
ABOUT THE SCHILLER BOSTON COMMUNITY CHORUS:
The Schiller Institute Chorus of Eastern MA is determined to have fun preserving a tradition of beauty and profundity, and be a shining light through a cultural darkness of our nation, where ugliness and mediocrity is promoted and even celebrated. As humanity is now at the cusp of profound change, let this light be the spark for a new renaissance of art and science and a true American humanist culture!
The chorus meets every Friday night for the Fall 2022 season and is open to anyone, regardless of background or experience. We rehearse at the natural Verdi tuning of C=256 Hz. and work on mastering the Bel Canto technique of ‘effortless singing’

Malene Robinson, assistant conductor and rehearsal pianist. Born and raised in Denmark, Malene started classical piano at the age of 8. After finishing pre-university education, she went on a travel through Ibero-America, where she witnessed some of the worst poverty and under-development imaginable. She became politically active, and – upon meeting the Schiller Institute in 2003 -, a passionate advocate for a worldwide cultural and economic renaissance, driven by the New Silk Road, which since then has been adopted by many governments and organizations. She continues to be an activist with the LaRouche movement and Schiller Institute, and has accompanied and coached singers in Germany, Denmark, and the United States. She is also an active choral singer, pianist, and mom of two beautiful daughters.

New York City Chorus
The Schiller Institute New York City Chorus began on December 20th, 2014 at a Sing-Along performance of excerpts of Handel’s Messiah. The concert had been organized in answer to the outrage over the Staten Island Grand Jury decision on the death-by-suffocation of Eric Garner, which had come in the wake of the Ferguson, MO riots, after the killing of an unarmed African-American teenager, and which threatened to create dangerous divisions and violence in the City of New York. The concert was dedicated to “The Sanctity of Every Human Life.”

The Schiller Institute chorus of Northern Virginia is a lively group of singers dedicated to sharing the beauty and power of Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, the great American composers of the African American Spirituals, and other great classical works.
