Welcome to the People Hidden in History Podcast series, You will hear a brief preview of an upcoming podcast episode – to be recorded and released later this fall.
This is to be a follow-up episode from August 2022, which was an interview with Mark Ludwig, Director of the Terezin Music Foundation. The episode focused on Viktor Ullman, a composer and music critic, who was a prisoner at the Terezin concentration camp.
However, this upcoming episode will focus on the many talented women at Terezin (pianists, composers, educators). These women comforted and enriched the life within the walls of this concentration camp. The Robert Schumann piano piece you hear at the beginning and end, was known to have been played by women pianists at Terezin.
To highlight these women, the Terezin Music Foundation – is excited to give them their due on the great stage of Symphony Hall in Boston at their next Gala Event on November 19th (details here).
Do listen to the first podcast (link here), that will give a better understanding of life at Terezin, and how those living there were under constant threat of deportation to Auschwitz but also how music still could enrich their spirits.
