Whispers from the past (middlebury havurah)
“Whispers from the Past” is a concert that interweaves music composed during the Holocaust with ancestral Jewish melodies- a program that transcends a time of sorrow with the human desire for hope. Performing is Temple Trio, a string trio consisting of violin, viola and cello.
Besides music of composers who perished in the camps such as Viktor Ullmann, Gideon Klein and Hans Krasa, there will be music of two composers who lived through the Holocaust, as well as some Yiddish songs.
Temple Trio are players of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra (Laura Markowitz, violin; Ana Ruesink, viola; and John Dunlop, cello). Berta Frank will host the event.
