Commemorating 80 years since the liberation of the first concentration camps, this musical performance shines a light on the story of Yorta Yorta man William Cooper and the Australian Aborigines Leagueโs petition against Kristallnacht โ The Night of Broken Glass. Featuring a new composition by one of Australiaโs leading yidaki players and composers, William Barton, and renowned composer and pianist, Elena Kats-Chernin AO, this performance will give audiences an insight into an important chapter of Australiaโs First Nations history.
The performance will also feature music from Erwin Schulhoff, an Austro-Czech composer and pianist who was killed during the Holocaust.
This event is part of the Music of Memory series, which will culminate in a performance at Hamer Hall on 31 October.
This program was developed in partnership with the Australian War Memorial.
This concert is designed to promote healing and deeper understanding of historical trauma resulting from the Holocaust, however, please note that the performance does contain graphic images including of deceased persons, and people in distress.
