For the third year in succession, the Howard Assembly Room presents a concert commemorating Holocaust Memorial Day, which this year has the theme Fragility of Freedom.

Pianist and Leeds Lieder director Joseph Middleton, together with baritone Simon Wallfisch, perform a hand-picked selection of songs by composers murdered in the holocaust, including Viktor Ullmann and Pawel Haas. Joseph comments, “I’m really pleased that Simon Wallfisch can do this recital. He’s the perfect singer for this concert… It will be thoughtful and sensitive and challenging.”

The duo will also present music by composers who were lucky to escape Nazi occupied Europe and live their lives in Exile in the US and UK, such as Kurt Weill, Erich Korngold, and Hans Gál, who escaped Vienna, was interned in the Isle of Man and went on to start the Edinburgh International Festival.
