Description

In co-operation with numerous Viennese district authorities, the Vienna Royal Philharmonic will commemorate the November pogrom that took place 85 years ago. Only compositions by banished composers will be performed. Vienna Royal Philharmonic has received sheet music from descendants of banished composers, which has been carefully reconstructed, maintained and rehearsed for several years. Music researcher Peter Illavsky will discuss the biographies of the composers at the commemorative events.
