ABOUT RECOVERED VOICES (from colburnschool.edu):
"The Ziering-Conlon Initiative for Recovered Voices is a unique Colburn resource that encourages greater awareness and more frequent performances of music by composers whose careers and lives were tragically cut short by the Nazi regime in Europe. James Conlon, Artistic Director of the Ziering-Conlon Initiative for Recovered Voices at the Colburn School, has long championed works by these composers and by so doing has drawn deserved attention to composers whose names and works had very nearly been eliminated from history.

Inspired by LA Opera’s groundbreaking Recovered Voices project, and with the support of Los Angeles philanthropist Marilyn Ziering, the Colburn School and James Conlon established the Ziering-Conlon Initiative for Recovered Voices at the Colburn School. The Recovered Voices Initiative is grateful to Robert Elias for many years of critical support and to the individual philanthropists whose generous contributions have made it possible to bring this important repertory back to life for generations to come."

Evin Blomberg (Founder & CEO, Soli Music Society) is an alumnus of The Colburn School and is thrilled to collaborate with fellow alumnus Adam Millstein (Program Manager, Ziering-Conlon Initiative for Recovered Voices) to present this performance in partnership with Isaac M. Wise Temple.
