Treasures from the Exilarte Center | Composers Forbidden and Suppressed by the Nazi Regime

Join the ACFNY for a concert evening by the Exilarte Center with mezzo-soprano Josipa Bainac, flutist Ulrike Anton and pianist David Hausknecht, interpreting works by composers forced into exile by the Nazis.

The program offers works by Walter Bricht, Julius Bürger, Robert Fürstenthal, and Wilhelm Grosz, the musical estates of whom are all located in the archive of the Exilarte Center. The performance will also include works by the Austrian-American composer Vally Weigl. Gerold Gruber, founder of exil.arte and chairman of the Exilarte Center will be the evening’s moderator.

This program marks the beginning of the joint undertaking between Exilarte and the American music publishers, Schirmer/Wise Music, resulting in the publication of some 300 works over the coming years from the Exilarte Center’s archive, based at the mdw – University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.
