Join Teryl (Teri) Dobbs in this public talk as she explores the complicated musical experience of the Holocaust.
About this Event

Music in the Holocaust is often perceived as means of hope, resistance, and inspiration. However, a dark side existed: the Nazi regime employed music as propaganda, for inciting riots, and as a form of torture. Hence, music was experienced in profoundly different ways: it could sooth, comfort, and inspire hope as well as serve as a means of pain. Join Teryl (Teri) Dobbs, PhD, professor emerita, UW-Madison, in this public talk as she explores the complicated musical experience of the Holocaust.


A related performance of instruments from the Violins of Hope collection will take place on Sunday, November 9th at 12:30p.m. More details coming soon.


This program is presented in partnership with Violins of Hope - Wisconsin, Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra (MYSO).
