The composer Michael Zev Gordon talks about his new composition ‘A Kind of Haunting‘ – a collaboration with the scholar Marianne Hirsch and poet Jacqueline Saphra. In it, he tells his own personal story about growing up with family silence around the Holocaust, and how, only many years later, he discovered what happened to his grandfather in Poland in 1941. In words and music, the piece reflects on how the Second and Third Generations inherit not only what those who survived remember, but also what they suppress. Michael will talk about how music and the arts can help shine light on these issues and the feelings they engender. You can now book on https://music-words-Holocaust.eventbrite.co.uk
