About the music and the composers:
The program introduces obscure music by great composers whose Jewish identity sealed their fate as musicians and as human beings in the period surrounding the two world-wars. The colorful, imaginative soundscape these composers created was influenced by other composers they were personally associated with, such as Debussy and Berg, by their geographical journeys to Eastern, Western Europe and Palestine, and ultimately by the turbulent circumstances of their time- a monumental chapter in history.
Their compositions bear witness to their rich life experiences, encompassing great stylistic diversity and a vast range of emotions.
