Description
Did you know music was performed in concentration camps during the Holocaust, and that many camps and ghettos even had orchestras? In this informative lecture-recital, Dr. Christine Beard will discuss the Nazi’s cultural ‘purification’ objectives in relation to music, the affected musicians and composers across Europe, the type of music performed in ghettos and camps, as well as the role music played during the Holocaust. (NOTE: Though the preferred method of delivery for this topic is a lecture-recital format to include a live performance for flute – with or without piano, this presentation can be altered to be delivered as a standard lecture).
