Holocaust Museum Event

We are pleased to share the exciting news that the Illinois Holocaust Museum will be hosting a world event when pianist Jeanne Golan performs The Complete Piano Sonatas of Viktor Ullmann on October 18 and 21. The two programs will span the compositional life of Viktor Ullmann, from his days as a leading musical figure in Prague to his internment at the concentration camp Terezin. Please find attached a press release with details of the event.

James Conlon, Music Director of the Ravinia Festival, praises Jeanne Golan for her role bringing to light Ullmann’s work. “Jeanne Golan will do much to generate greater appreciation for Ullmann’s music among musicians and music lovers everywhere. I hope other musicians will follow her example by immersing themselves in the music of Ullmann and, in so doing, discover the work of a true 20th-century master.”

Rick Hirschhaut, Executive Director of the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center, notes, “We are privileged to give voice to this brilliant composer whose work was silenced by the Nazi regime. Through the magnificent artistry of Jeanne Golan, the music of Viktor Ullmann can now be enjoyed and experienced by all who join us for these momentous concerts.”
