"A melody sings my heart, which you sang..." In memory of the victims of National Socialism, the Gernsheim Duo will perform works by forgotten Jewish composers on November 9th.


Many Jewish composers enriched European musical life before the Shoah. During the Nazi era, their works were banned from concert halls and the memory of their work was erased. The consequences to this day: their names are largely unknown and their pieces are rarely performed.

The Gernsheim Duo with soprano Anna Gann and pianist Naoko Christ-Kato brings music by forgotten composers back to the concert stage. The duo has performed as far afield as Japan; in 2019, it released the world's first recording of songs by its namesake, Friedrich Gernsheim (1839–1916).
