"Rescued music" will be performed in the "Synagogue" Center of the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Zamość on Sunday, 5th August 2018, at 6.00 p.m.
The event will commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Art Chamber Ensemble will perform compositions by Józef Koffler – one of the most interesting composers of Polish modernism and the first Polish dodecaphonist, Marian Neuteich – known mainly as film music composer and conductor of the Jewish Symphony Orchestra in the Warsaw Ghetto, Joachim Mendelson – lecturer of the Music Institute in Warsaw, and outstanding Czech composers, graduates of the music academies in Prague and Brno – Gideon Klein and Pavel Haas. The concert will end with the piano trio "Silent Voices" (1998) by American composer Benjamin Lees, dedicated to "those whose voices have forever fall silent during the pogroms and genocide". The uniqueness of this concert stems from the programme, which consists of works very rarely performed in Poland. More information about the repertoir will be delivered by Gniewomir Zajączkowski.
