Murry Sidlin's new concert-drama Hours of Freedom: The Terezín Composer showcases music by fifteen composers imprisoned in Terezin during the WWII. Hours of Freedom combines video, music and narrative to highlight works by Viktor Ullmann, Gideon Klein, Zigmund Schul, Pavel Haas and Rudolf Karel among others. Building on the themes of Defiant Requiem, Hours of Freedom explores
the sustenance that music provided in the camp. This music was often the last composed by these gifted artists - many of whom were in their 20s and 30s when they perished. The compositions portray the agony and suffering of camp life along with the inspiration and revelation that comes through music.
Admission is free and seating is open but please send an email to
Leslie Clesner at lclesner@defiantrequiem.org to reserve a place.
Seating is limited.
