RESILIENCE: “Lost and Reclaimed Voices from the Holocaust” New York Performances

At Bargemusic, **RESILIENCE: “Lost and Reclaimed Voices from the Holocaust”** brings together classical writing and rock/pop-inflected elements to foreground music shaped by persecution and survival. Violinist **Desirée Ruhstrat**—a Bienen School professor and member of the Lincoln Trio and Black Oak Ensemble—appears with **Melissa Reardon** and **Wendy Sutter** in a program that treats performance as historical retrieval. A clear New York premiere history has not been publicly established, but its significance here is civic: presenting recovered voices in a city built from diaspora. The work’s restraint lets the testimony sit in the foreground.
