Pink Triangle Project in San Francisco - March 6Date: March 1, 2010 by Paul Neal  Views: 1335 Location: California, USA Choir type: Professional Choirs
The
Pink Triangle Project
, a multi-national collaboration, will feature the world
premiere of a new composition commemorating the homosexual
victims of the Holocaust. Written by noted German composer
Stefan Heucke, who will also attend the premiere, the work will
feature Holocaust scholar and professional oboist Susan Eischeid,
pianist Maila Gutierrez-Springfield, and the select men's chorus
Clerestory conducted by Paul Andrew Neal. Canadian poet
and author Gina Roitman, herself a child of survivors, will read
a new poem written in memory of the Pink Triangle prisoners. The
program will additionally feature the
Bridge Players performing a string quartet by Czech
composer Viktor Ullmann, who died in the Nazi camp of
Theresienstadt, and
Clerestory performing other works for men's chorus from
the Holocaust period plus complementary programming. The concert
will be dedicated to the memory of those thousands of homosexual
victims murdered by the Nazi regime and to the struggles still
faced by many persons in our own society who continue to deal
with issues of discrimination and prejudice, be it towards
gender, sexual orientation, or simply for being different.
