November 9th: Kristallnacht Commemorative Concert
Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass) was remembered in Aotearoa New Zealand, with our annual concert, in partnership with Te Kōki, the New Zealand School of Music - Victoria University of Wellington, Public Trust Hall, and the Adam Foundation.
The concert was held in the elegant Public Trust Hall with thanks to Maurice & Kaye Clark.
The programme featured classical and jazz music, with film scores by leading Jewish European composers who escaped the Holocaust, performed by acclaimed New Zealand musicians. From resilience to reinvention in Hollywood, these composers wrote music for some of the greatest blockbusters and influenced film music forever.
We thank the internationally renowned and award-winning musicians for giving of their time, talents and passion to bring stunning music to life, in memory of a time of darkness, and the audience and viewers at home for taking time to remember and honour the victims and survivors of the Holocaust.
Featured composers:
Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Franz Waxman, Mieczysław Weinberg, Ernst Toch, and Miklós Rózsa
Performers:
Inbal Megiddo, Jian Liu, Jenny Wollerman, Martin Riseley, New Zealand String Quartet (Helene Pohl, Monique Lapins, Gillian Ansell and Rolf Gjelsten), Yury Gezentsvey, David Barnard, Dave Wilson, Callum Allardice, Phoebe Johnson and Hikurangi Schaverien-Kaa

United Nations International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Monday 27 January 2020
Remembering for the Future |
Monday 27th January, commemorations in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington and Christchurch, saw Holocaust survivors, their descendants, politicians, members of the diplomatic corps, and hundreds of Jews and non-Jews turn out in the heat, wind and rain to take the time to reflect and remember the 6 million Jewish lives that were murdered in the Holocaust, and the millions of other victims of the Nazi Third Reich. 27 January 2020 marked not only the annual United Nations International Holocaust Remembrance Day but also the seventy-fifth anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz by the Red Army.
