KAC-Express: Oldie trio leads ice hockey team to victory!

The KAC Express remains on the road to success! On January 2, 2025, the ice hockey team from Klagenfurt already celebrated its sixth victory in a row and shows an impressive performance with players such as Jan Mursak (36), Matt Fraser (34) and Nick Petersen (35). In the last game in Vienna, these experienced players contributed astonishing twelve scorer points to a total of 18 points and thus underpinned their key role in the team. While Petersen is thinking about an early end of the career, the team is preparing for the next exciting duel against Linz on Friday. In addition, the VSV could leave to Asiago, where a top scorer seriously thinks about an extension of the contract with the eagles, as is reported on krone.at

A look into the past with Shostakovich

Another fascinating topic illuminates the deep connection between music and history, as described in the book Leningrad: Siege and Symphony by Brian Moyahhan. It addresses the composition of Dmitri Schostakovich, which is in the historical context of the siege of Leningrad. Moynahhan combines intensive research from archives as well as personal letters and diaries to describe the grays brought through the city of beauty by Stalin and Hitler. His work represents an extremely emotional narrative of one of the most tragic periods of the 20th century, as is explained in detail with Petersfraserdunlop.com

By embedding Moynahan Schostakovich's personal story in the context of these huge events, he openly puts on how the composer and the city survive against the brutal circumstances of the repression and the Nazi terror. These concise links between music and history offer a deep insight into human resilience and the art that can arise even in times of terror.
