Programme
Overview
Discover the extraordinary true story of the Women’s Orchestra of Auschwitz, where music became a lifeline amid unimaginable adversity. Join author Anne Sebba at lunchtime for eyewitness testimony and haunting melodies from a vanished world.Step into a midday encounter with memory and melody as Anne Sebba brings to life her hauntingly beautiful chronicle of the Women’s Orchestra of Auschwitz. In this intimate lunchtime presentation, she unveils the extraordinary story of female prisoners who, under the direction of a gifted conductor and niece of Gustav Mahler, transformed the daily march to forced labour into an act of musical defiance. Drawing on vivid eyewitness testimony and melancholic interludes from a bygone era, Sebba crafts a moving narrative of solidarity, survival and the redemptive power of art amid unconscionable brutality. Experience a vanished world resurrected in evocative prose and sorrowful melodies that echo the courage of those who refused to let silence prevail.
