Reimagining the poetry of Gertrud Kolmar. An Immersive musical journey with Professor Julian Marshall.

Beginning in 2007 with the startling discovery of the truly remarkable yet tragically little-known poet Gertrud Kolmar, who perished in Auschwitz in 1943, composer Julian Marshall set out on what has become a deeply transformative, creative journey. The collective name for this endeavour is now known as The Welten Project. Works from the project have been performed and recorded by some leading singers and players here in the UK.
In this evening’s presentation, Julian will share the story and process of this project and play a specially curated playlist of music.

Julian Marshall: ‘I am especially interested in the idea of music as a living memorial and how this may be linked to ideas of repressed shadow in human experience. It strikes me, more than at any other time in my life, how the potential ‘lessons’, following World War II are very far from either being learned or understood. How and in what way may music and the arts, I wonder, play a more visceral part in leading us into a deeper recognition and a deeper understanding of underlying beliefs and behaviours?’.
