The "Musique D'un Autre Monde" Concert no.2 in Newcastle upon Tyne is a solemn and extraordinary event that will showcase the musical works of a number of Polish Jewish composers who endured immense suffering during the reign of the Nazis. These composers, including Alexandre Tansman, Wladyslaw Szpilman, Simon (Szymon) Laks, Jerzy Fitelberg, Karol Rathaus, and Mieczyslaw Weinberg, each have a unique story to tell. Their haunting melodies and compositions serve as a testament to their resilience and the enduring power of music.
The programme for this concert will feature Tansman's "La Danse de la Sorciere," Rathaus's Quartet n.4, Fitelberg's "Nacht Music" op.9, and two movements from Tansman's repertoire. Weinberg's emotionally charged Piano Trio will also be performed. The talented artists who will bring these compositions to life include Alexandra Raikhlina and Bartosz Woroch on the violin, Nathan Braude on the viola, Liubov Ulybysheva, Bartholomew LaFolette, Gabriel Waite, and Seth Collin on the cello, and Katya Apekisheva and Aleksandra Halat on the piano.
