The yarns of this program, related to the Holocaust Memorial Year, lead to multiple directions. The vision of this evening was conceived by many less or more tiny, less or more personal connotations. Beyond the specific connections we have also tried to strive for the quality of the performed literary and musical material and the perfection of expression.

 

This is probably the first public live performance of these poetic texts. Also the pieces by André Tchaikowsky and Pavel Haas receive their Hungarian premiere now, justified by their exceptional intellectual quality, not the composers’ tragic fate.
