Our first program features an Austrian silent film from 1924 by Hans Breslauer which presages the events of the Holocaust. Thought to be lost, a print of the film was discovered at a Parisian flea market in 2015 and digitally restored through a crowdfunding campaign. The Vienna Konzerthaus then commissioned a new score from composer Olga Neuwirth, which will be performed live by the Present Music ensemble, conducted by Yaniv Dinur. We will also feature an interpretation of the Woody Guthrie /Lisa Gutkin song Gonna Get Through This World arranged for Present Music by Israeli composer Aviya Kopelman and sung by Donna Woodall.
The performance is in conjunction with the exhibit “Art, Life, Legacy: Northern European Paintings from the Collection of Isabel and Alfred Bader”. In-person PM performance ticket holders also receive access to the Milwaukee Art Museum galleries the day of the performance.
This event includes a Pre-concert Panel Discussion at 6:00 pm in Lubar Auditorium and a post-concert reception in Windhover Hall at MAM.
The new commissioned arrangement by composer Aviya Kopelman of Gonna Get Though This World, music & lyrics by Woody Guthrie & Lisa Gutkin, has been commissioned by the Laskin Family Foundation. The appearances of Yaniv Dinur, guest conductor, and Donna Woodall, guest vocalist, are underwritten by the Laskin Family Foundation.
