Program features an Austrian silent film from 1924 by Hans Breslauer which presages the events of the Holocaust. Thought to be lost, a print of the film was discovered at a Parisian flea market in 2015 and digitally restored through a crowdfunding campaign. The Vienna Conzerthaus then commissioned a new score from composer Olga Neuwirth, which will be performed live by the Present Music ensemble, conducted by Yaniv Dinur. We will also feature an interpretation of the Woody Guthrie /Lisa Gutkin song Gonna Get Through This World arranged for Present Music by Israeli composer Aviya Kopelman and sung by Donna Woodall.

The performance is in conjunction with the exhibit “Art, Life, Legacy: Northern European Paintings from the Collection of Isabel and Alfred Bader”. In-person PM performance ticket holders also receive access to the Milwaukee Art Museum galleries the day of the performance.

This event includes a Pre-concert Panel Discussion at 6:00 pm in Lubar Auditorium and a post-concert reception in Windhover Hall at MAM.
