Program Description

Event Details

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.

 

Concert Series is sponsored by the Clarinda (Lied) Public Library Foundation.
