Austrian soprano Ute Gfrerer and Boston-area visual artist Lisa Rosowsky present an unforgettable evening of song and art in honor of their fathers, who lived through two very different experiences of World War II in Europe. Gfrerer’s father was a member of the Nazi Youth Party and a soldier, while Rosowsky’s father went into hiding in France after his parents were arrested and sent to Auschwitz. Both daughters were left with a legacy of silence and grief, which they transformed into art and music.
FOR OUR FATHERS is a moving program of Holocaust-related songs—poems set to music
by composers such as Kurt Weill, Norbert Glanzberg, and Hermann Leopoldi—matched with artwork that explores family history and memory.
FOLLOWING THE PERFORMANCE will be a special question and answer session with the performers, facilitated by Rabbi Meyer. Additionally, there will be opportunities to give
either online or by way of a phone bank after the performance.
