Fünf Saiten für den Klang der Erinnerung

In the organizer's words:

On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp, the "Gran Duo Italiano" (violin and piano) will be paying homage to the Jewish-Italian composer Guido Alberto Fano on the 150th anniversary of his birth. The program is entitled "Un gran violino a cinque corde per il suono della memoria" ("A five-stringed violin for the sound of memory"). This special instrument, built in Montegiordano, Italy, will be played in the concert by violinist Mauro Tortorelli. Together with pianist Angela Meluso, he will play works by Italian composers of Jewish origin who fell victim to the Holocaust or survived it. In addition to the names of Guido Alberto Fano and Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, the mainly unknown composers Leone Sinigaglia and Renzo Massarani are also represented in the program. The evening program is shown below.

The concert is being held in cooperation with the Italian Consulate General and the German-Italian Cultural Society Hanover (DIK).

The portrait exhibition "KZ Überlebt" by Stefan Hanke is thematically linked to the concert and can be visited one hour before and during the event.

Free admission.

The event is fully booked.
