Ostracized – Persecuted – Murdered
Composers as a glimmer of hope in dark times
Song recital
Description
Esther Choi, mezzo-soprano
Paul Weigold, piano
83 years ago, synagogues were burning in Germany. An event that made the increasing disenfranchisement and persecution of Jewish and non-Jewish citizens by the National Socialist regime visible to everyone. Every year, Villa Seligmann commemorates the crimes and injustice of that time with a memorial concert.
On the eve of Remembrance Day (November 9), we invite you to a song recital in the Marktkirche together with the Lower Saxony State Parliament. It pays tribute to composers who were banned from working, driven into exile, imprisoned and killed because of their Jewish origins.
Program
Pavel Haas (1899-1944): Four songs after Chinese texts (1944)
Viktor Ullmann (1898-1944): Geistliche Lieder op. 20, Hölderlin-Lieder (1943/44)
Erwin Schulhoff (1894-1942): Five Songs (1919)
