Terezin, the "model concentration camp" established by the Nazis outside Prague, became for a short time the meeting place for many of Europe's finest musicians. Violinist Randall Weiss will be joined by cellist Victoria Ehrlich and violist Natalia Vershilova in performing string trios and duos by Gideon Klein, Hans Krasa, and Zikmund Schul.

Jewish Community Centre for London presents

Thursday 19th October 7.45pm
SCORE @ the South Bank Centre and the Jewish Community Centre for London
Purcell Room, South Bank Centre, London
SE1 8XX
Price: £12 Call 08703 800 400 or online at www.rfh.org.uk

Lemez Lovas of Oi Va Voi will direct guest musicians Moshikop and Rohan Kriwaczek in a live performance of a specially devised new score for East and West. In Sidney M. Goldin and Ivan Abramson’s silent movie (1923), streetwise New York flapper Mollie (Molly Picon) travels to her cousin’s wedding in a traditional Polish shtetl.

Lovas, Moshikop and Kriwaczek’s new score takes us from traditional klezmer to contemporary electronica, from vaudeville to breakbeat. As love blossoms between East and West, and the musical narrative unfolds, traditional and modern worlds are brought into collision. Score is irreverent and highly entertaining. A night not to be missed.

There will be an open rehearsal for students and young people in the day on 19th October. Please contact the JCC for more information.
