Zuflucht in der Musik: Lahav Shani & Friends

In the organizer's words:

For his second festival concert, Lahav Shani switches from the conductor's podium to the grand piano. Together with members of the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, he will present a unique evening of intimate chamber music. This concert is dedicated to artists who found refuge in music due to persecution or whose works were banned from performance for ideological reasons - and where could be a more suitable venue for this program than in the lower church of the Frauenkirche, which stands for peace and tolerance!
The pianist and composer Ilse Fromm-Michaels was silenced because of her husband's Jewish ancestry. In her "Musica larga" from 1944, she raises her voice in a moving adagio. In the Theresienstadt ghetto, the Austrian Viktor Ullmann composed his Third String Quartet, which is steeped in sad beauty. Dmitri Shostakovich's only piano quintet, composed four years after the devastating article in "Pravda" that would change the composer's life forever, tells of the inner struggle between persecution and adaptation.
