The Exilarte Center in Vienna works to rediscover musical treasures of the 20th Century that were suppressed by the Third Reich. This concert, produced by the American Society for Jewish Music and co-sponsored by YIVO, the Leo Baeck Institute, and the Center for Jewish History, features a selection of music whose composers were branded as 'degenerate' and is being rediscovered thanks to Exilarte's work. Composers featured include Julius Bürger, Hals Gál, Andre Singer, Gustav Lewi, Walter Arlen, Vally Weigl and Erich Wolfgang Korngold. Performances will be by the musicians of Exilarte in collaboration with students from the Mannes College of Music.
