This performance will be featuring Norbert Meyn (tenor/director), Ingrid Pearson (clarinet), Abigail Lorrimer (cello) and Christopher Gould (piano) from the Ensemble.

Robert Kahn, Egon Wellesz and Mátyás Seiber were well known and greatly admired by audiences in Germany, Austria and Hungary before being persecuted by the Nazi regime because of their Jewish roots and forced to emigrate in the 1930s. All of them wrote a substantial amount of music in Britain, which became their home for the rest of their lives. Ensemble Émigré aims to bring their extraordinary transnational heritage to life with engaging performances and narration. The work of the ensemble is closely connected with the AHRC-funded research project Music, Migration and Mobility at the Royal College of Music.

This concert was originally planned as a live performance at the New North London Synagogue. It will now be streamed from the Performance Hall at the Royal College of Music.
