Rudolf Friml: Songs of Záviš, Op. 1
Viktor Ullmann: String Quartet No. 3, Op. 46
Erwin Schulhoff: 5 Pieces for String Quartet
Pavel Haas: Fata Morgana, Op. 6
Winning composition of the composition competition for solo piano
The second evening will feature music by Pavel Haas, the "Terezín composer." Pavel Haas wrote most of his compositions during his imprisonment in Terezín. However, his early work Fata Morgana was composed during his studies at the Prague Conservatory. This lyrical cycle will be rediscovered by the young Austrian ensemble Ineo Quartet, pianist Johanna Haniková, and Polish tenor Jan Petryka. In addition to Haas, the program will also feature a song cycle by Rudolf Friml, a composer who emigrated to the United States with the help of singer Emma Destinn, and quartets by Viktor Ullmann and Erwin Schulhoff. This concert at the Spanish Synagogue will also present the winning composition of the Eternal Hope Festival's composition competition.
