Brundibár is part of an inspiring human legacy. Hans Krása’s beautiful children’s opera, performed 55 times at the Terezín concentration camp, stands as a memorial to its original performers, the child inmates of Terezín. Tony Kushner’s acclaimed new English libretto, which receives its world première recording here, brings a modern vibrancy to Brundibár’s story about the triumph of good over evil, and the power of friendship to change the world. Contemporary American composer Lori Laitman’s powerful song cycle I Never Saw Another Butterfly captures the voices of six extraordinary poems by Terezín’s child prisoners. Krása’s and Laitman’s works are a deep tribute to the human spirit. They honor the lives and legacy of those remarkable persons – especially children – whose creative work was an expression of spiritual resistance to tyranny. Produced by Music of Remembrance, a Seattle-based non-profit organization dedicated to remembering Holocaust musicians through their art (www.musicofremembrance.org).
