The Nazis nearly succeeded in obliterating what they
deemed “degenerate” art and music, but over the past decade many works
have been retrieved from the ashes. Hebrew Union College’s Concerts on
Clifton series commemorates International Holocaust Remembrance Day with
a concert of chamber works by victims of the Nazi and Soviet
oppression.
Internationally acclaimed pianist James Tocco performs Erwin
Schulhoff’s “5 Études de Jazz,” Shostakovich’s “Piano Quintet in G
Minor” and Viktor Ullman’s “Quartet No. 3,” accompanied by cellist
Daniel Culnan, violinists Rebecca Culnan and Chika Kinderman and violist
Yael Senamaud. Ullman died in Nazi concentration camps; Shostakovich
was the long-suffering victim of Stalin and his successors. 4 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 27. Free
admission with reception following. Scheuer Chapel, Hebrew Union
College-Jewish Institute of Religion, 3101 Clifton Ave., Clifton.
