Jewish music from the Theresienstadt concentration camp will be part of a Jewish music festival to be held here March 9 to 11, under the auspices of the Jewish community and the Copenhagen Cultural Foundation.
One of the array of international performers, 76-year-old pianist Edith Kraus, is a Theresienstadt survivor.
The event, symbolized by the image of “Fiddler on the Roof,” will also feature the Gliken orchestra from Lund, Sweden; Kinor, a young Jewish ensemble from Riga, Latvia; and Israeli musicologist David Bloch and his Danish-American wife, Emily Berensen.
There will also be guests from Norway.
The festival was organized by the Organization for Israeli Culture and Youth, and by Abraham Kopenhagen, a Polish-born Israeli living in Copenhagen.
