The RSB's commemorative concert on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp offers a concert programme with three compositions that reflect the music of the Holocaust in a special way. The new work ‘Aus Geigen Stimmen’ by Berthold Tuercke will be performed for the first time. This will be followed by the string trio by Czech composer Gideon Klein, written secretly in tiny miniature notation in the Theresienstadt ghetto before he was killed three months later in Auschwitz. The String Quartet No. 5 by the Polish-Jewish composer Mieczysław Weinberg concludes the programme.
