Zigman: Émigré

Zigman: Émigré

Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, Long Yu

2024

In de aanloop naar de Tweede Wereldoorlog vluchtten duizenden Joden naar Shanghai. Onder hen bevonden zich honderden muzikanten. Émigré vertelt het verhaal van twee Joodse broers die in 1938 in Shanghai arriveerden, waar ze een gemeenschap vonden en een leven opbouwden. Joodse musici speelden een belangrijke rol bij de oprichting van het Shanghai Symphony Orchestra en het conservatorium in Shanghai. De bekroonde componist Aaron Zigman schreef dit oratorium. Librettist Mark Campbell (zijn opera Silent Night won in 2012 de Pulitzerprijs voor muziek) en songwriter Brock Walsh schreven de teksten van dit anderhalf uur durende, aangrijpende werk.
