KRASA: Brundibar / LAITMAN: I Never Saw Another Butterfly |
Brundibár is part of an inspiring human legacy. Hans Krása’s beautiful children’s opera, performed 55
times at the Terezín concentration camp, stands as a memorial to its original performers, the child inmates
of Terezín. Tony Kushner’s acclaimed new English libretto, which receives its world première recording
here, brings a modern vibrancy to Brundibár’s story about the triumph of good over evil, and the power
of friendship to change the world. Contemporary American composer Lori Laitman’s powerful song cycle
I Never Saw Another Butterfly captures the voices of six extraordinary poems by Terezín’s child prisoners.
Krása’s and Laitman’s works are a deep tribute to the human spirit. They honor the lives and legacy of
those remarkable persons – especially children – whose creative work was an expression of spiritual
resistance to tyranny. Produced by Music of Remembrance, a Seattle-based non-profit organization
dedicated to remembering Holocaust musicians through their art (www.musicofremembrance.org).
