The Orchestra Now Presents "Gernsheim Festival: Rediscovering a Master" at Bard College (Sept. 18-20)

Gernsheim Festival: Rediscovering a Master

This fall, The Orchestra Now embarks on a multi-year project exploring the music of 19th-century German composer Friedrich Gernsheim. Once a leading figure of the European music scene, Gernsheim’s legacy was all but erased by the Nazi regime in the 1930s due to his Jewish heritage, leaving his extensive body of work largely unheard today. TŌN seeks to restore his legacy through a series of orchestra and chamber concerts, panel discussions, a new album, and other initiatives. All are invited to rediscover the exceptional music of this critically acclaimed master composer.
