Song recital with Sara Duchovnay (soprano) and Christoph Stöcker (piano)

As the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, the Jewish-American soprano Sara Duchovnay is particularly dedicated to the songs of ostracized composers. In addition to Erich Wolfgang Korngold, there are a surprising number of female composers - such as Lena Stein-Schneider, Josephine von Winter, Hilde Loewe-Flatter (published as Henry Love) and Camilla Frydan - whose works have remained largely unnoticed until now. Their impressive songs bear witness to inner freedom and the unbroken will to assert oneself and be heard - even in exile and under repression.

This program invites you to rediscover the voices of those composers whose works were once intended to be silenced - and whose music is all the more haunting today.
