Music of Remembrance: Art from Ashes, Volume One

Letter to Warsaw is the extraordinary musical setting of one woman’s intimate first-hand account of life in the grip of the Holocaust. American composer Thomas Pasatieri created this powerful song cycle, setting six texts by poet/cabaret artist Pola Braun. Braun wrote these texts while in the Warsaw Ghetto and in the Majdanek concentration camp, where she perished in 1943. Through Pasatieri’s music, Braun’s voice of witness tells an unforgettable story reminding us that each victim of the Holocaust was a unique individual.

MOR's Letter to Warsaw CD recording will be mailed after the work's world premiere on May 10, 2004.

Letter to Warsaw was commissioned by Music of Remembrance, a Seattle–based non-profit organization dedicated to remembering Holocaust musicians and their art.

Purchase price includes a $12 contribution to Music of Remembrance.
