FILM: “Terezín: Refuge in Music”

FILM: “Terezín: Refuge in Music”
Daniel Hope has devoted more than 15 years to the intensive study and preservation of music by composers who were murdered by the Nazis. Many of them were imprisoned in the Terezín (Theresienstadt) concentration camp. Following a prize-winning album release with mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter featuring this music, as well as giving concert tours, lectures and seminars sharing this musical history with the world, Hope helped to produce this documentary film. It is, in a sense, a continuation of the journey. The film tells the story of Alice Herz-Sommer
and Coco Schumann, two extraordinary musicians from very different musical worlds, both of whom survived Terezín.
