About this Event

RESILIENCE IN SILENCE: Echoes of Memory and Survival"

This event is a collaboration between Milwaukee Musaik and presented by MYSO.

This concert is more than a performance; it is a remembrance, a reflection, and we hope, an act of education. The music you will hear, by Schulhoff, Ligeti, Williams and Weinberg, does not illustrate history in the literal sense. Instead, it refracts it. These works bear the imprint of lives shaped by displacement, persecutions, and survival. String instruments that survived the Holocaust will be played by Musaik artists on concert day. They will give voice to those individuals who were silenced as their blessed memories live on.

Erwin Schulhoff perished in a Nazi concentration camp; György Ligeti narrowly survived World War II, losing most of his Jewish family to Nazis; Mieczyslaw Weinberg fled the Shoa (Holocaust) only to face terror in Stalin's USSR. Even American film composer John Williams' score to Schindler's List, though composed decades later, is a form of sonic memory; an elegy for a vanished world.


  • Erwin Schulhoff: Concertino for Flute, Viola and Bass, WV 75
  • György Ligeti: From Musica Ricercata: Six Bagatelles for Wind Quintet
  • John Williams: Three Pieces from “Schindler’s List” - Jeanyi Kim solo violin
  • Mieczyslaw Weinberg: Chamber Symphony No. 4 for Clarinet, Triangle and String Orchestra, Op. 153. - Todd Levy solo clarinet
