To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the Young German Philharmonic and the 1200th anniversary of Frankfurt, "Surrogate Cities" was created – a particularly comprehensive project by the German composer and music theater visionary Heiner Goebbels. The work explores the "concrete jungle" in all its facets and examines the dynamic forces and power structures of urban spaces. Texts by Paul Auster, Hugo Hamilton, and Heiner Müller are incorporated into the composition, with literary quotations and their musical setting forming an essential part of the artistic concept.
