Conversation and concert with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin string quartet
During the National Socialist regime, more than 18,000 Jewish refugees found asylum and salvation in Shanghai. While there, they had to contend with enforced ghettoization, the effects of war, inflation and shortages.
It was against this historical backdrop that the US composer Aaron Sigman set the oratorio Émigré, which will be performed for the first time in Europe by the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin (DSO) on 3 November 2024.
The conversation and concert at the JMB is dedicated to the cultural life created by these Jewish escapees in exile, among them more than 450 musicians. Sophie Fetthauer, a specialist on musicians in exile, will shed light on this period in conversation with the composer of Émigré, Aaron Zigman.
The conversation will be held in English.
A DSO string quartet with Olga Polonsky and Lauriane Vernhes (violin), Francesca Zappa (viola) and Claudia Benker-Schreiber (cello) will also play works by Erwin Schulhoff, Pavel Haas, Wolfgang Fraenkel, Otto Joachim, Aaron Avshalomov and Ding Shan-de.
In cooperation with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin (DSO)
