New programs via Deutsche Welle

European Business Week
European Business Week looks at the major happenings in the world of money and provides insights into the business climate in Europe. We explore the major issues in the economic world, with a personal touch. Curious about the financial crisis? What does it mean to each
individual sector? Who are some of the winners in the time of turmoil?

European Business Week taps the knowledge of experts, officials and reporters to answer these questions and many more. The show also takes a look into the corners of markets that may be less explored, yet impact the way people live and conduct trade. Look to European Business Week for a unique, and at times entertaining, perspective on the economic world.

Living in Germany
Germany is the land of music and poetry, great thinkers and philosophers, art and culture, science and invention and, of course, sausage and beer, and it's home to some 82 million people. But what is it really like to live in Germany? This is what Living in Germany sets out to explore, by looking at the lives of Germans and non-Germans who live here. Join Sue Cox and the rest of the team every week for an exciting and entertaining look at what Living in Germany is really like. www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,4146361,00.html

Music This Week
Music can change lives, and it has down through the ages. Just how that has happened is the theme of DW's new five-minute mini documentary Music This Week.

Each episode looks at a particular date, a world premier, the birthday or death date of a musician, or an important historical event, and explores the music that went along with it.

Did you know, for example, that Smetana's The Moldau eventually led to the birth of a nation? Or that Frederick the Great, the "soldier king," played the flute and invited Johann Sebastian Bach to improvise on one of Frederick's melodies?

That the Beatles owed some of their early success to their gigs in Hamburg's red light district, or that Elvis, already hugely popular, came to Germany as a GI in the 1950's? How did Martin Luther come to discover that he could deliver as many sermons as he wanted, but it was the church hymns set to popular tunes of the day that really got the message across? What about the great men and women who set the style and defined the musical idiom for generations to come: George Frideric Handel, Bob Marley, Billie Holiday?

In a fast paced dialogue of spoken word and music excerpts, we cover it all in Music This Week.

European Business Week can be heard on UT Fridays. Living in Germany and Music This Week can be heard on UT Tuesdays.
