Ariela is a concert project dedicated to Jewish women composers, the preservation of their music and a reminder of the horrors they experienced. If their fate is not forgotten, their music will not die. It is a musical expression of the timeless themes of discrimination, fear and hope. Many of the composers in this programme were victims of the Holocaust, some survivors who found in music a means of coping with life far from home. Behind each name lies a dramatic fate and a unique body of work that, with minor exceptions, has remained unknown to the wider musical public.
The concert programme includes works by: Helene Liebmann-Riese, Vally Weigl, Josima Feldschuh, Lena Stein-Schneider, Ilse Weber, Sarah Feigin, Emma Kodaly-Schlesinger, Mana - Zucca, Silvia Sommer, Tsippi Fleischer, Meira Warshauer.
The concert is organised in cooperation with the Austrian Cultural Forum Ljubljana.
