Tuesday’s free lunchtime concert in the RBA came courtesy of the German Consulate who had flown in baritone Samuel Chan and pianist Constanze Beckmann from Kiel to perform a recital of songs by Walter Braunfels and Hanns Eisler; both composers driven from public life in Germany by the Nazis.
Rather short notice I’m afraid but McGill’s Schulich Singers and others have a Holocaust remembrance concert on Monday night (November 4th) at Trinity St. Paul’s at 7.30pm featuring Ittai Shapira’s The Ethics in the original choral version. The same programme will be presented in Ottawa on the 10th and Montreal on the 12th.
