Music on the Brink of Destruction
Ian Skelly presents works played at Music on the Brink of Destruction, a concert at Wigmore Hall in London featuring music written and performed in the Terezin and Warsaw ghettos.
Ian Skelly presents works performed during a recent concert that surveyed music written and performed in the Terezin and Warsaw ghettos - Music on the Brink of Destruction. Dovid Ayznshtat's Passover Cantata Chad Gadya, recently discovered in an old manuscript folder in Cape Town in 2012 by Dr. Stephen Muir, features alongside another newly unearthed work - Gideon Klein's melodrama, The Poplar Tree, uncovered in the archive of Prague's Jewish museum by Dr. David Fligg. The Clothworkers Consort of Leeds perform with pianist V臎ra M眉llerov谩, violinist Benjamin Nabarro, Viola player Krzysztof Chorzelski and cellist Gemma Rosefield. Plus a UK Premiere, by the Leonore Piano Trio, of Soviet Holocaust music by the Mikhail Gnesin, and pianist Leo Nicholson accompanies Sam Carl, Emily Kyte and James Way in songs by composers from the Theresienstadt ghetto.
