Sponsored by the Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies

Presented in partnership with the Butler School of Music and the Jewish Community Association of Austin

Presented as part of Creativity in the Face of Death: The Contemporary Resonance of Terezín, a three-day symposium featuring music and dance performances, photo exhibitions, and panel discussions exploring the enduring influence of music and art created by prisoners at Terezín, the “model ghetto” created by the Nazis near Prauge in late 1941. For more information, click here.

All of the works featured in this program were written by composers who were interned at Terezín and ultimately put to death at the hands of the Nazis. Their music, however, survived. According to Maestro Hope, “What these artists have written is powerful, unsentimental, and uncompromising. It’s as if every single note counted – these men were literally writing for their lives.” The two-concert series concludes with Erwin Schulhoff’s stunning string sextet performed by Daniel Hope, Will Fedkenheuer, John Largess and Joshua Gindele of the Miró Quartet, violist Benny Kim and cellist Eric Kim.
