CZECH MUSIC FROM PRAGUE, TEREZIN AND NEW YORK

Music Bridges International, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization that serves as a "musical missionary" by sponsoring bilateral and multilateral musical "events" to increase awareness of music's power to shape and transform society.   Bridges uses the non-verbal international language of music to help people in two or more countries become more conversant with each other's culture while celebrating their own artistic heritage, through cross- cultural artistic festivals. A centerpiece event - usually a concert or series of concerts - may be accompanied by educational activities (lectures, master classes, workshops, exhibits, visits to local schools and conservatories), recordings, competitions and the commissioning of new works.

The evening's program will include pieces composed in the Terezín concentration camp by Gideon Klein, Hugo Lowenthal and Zikmund Schul, as well as pieces by Antonín Dvořák, Bohuslav Martinů, Jaroslav Ježek, and Josef Suk.
