Show Notes
A Greek familys survival in Auschwitz: The power of music - David Lennon shares his mothers story of survival in Auschwitz, where the familys musical skills, particularly Yvettes double bass playing, helped them endure. The orchestras performances, including pieces by Schumann and Chopin, were deeply moving, especially hearing a recording of conductor Alma Rosé. A new book by Anne Sebba details the orchestras harsh reality, while the Lennon family continued their musical journey post-war, with David studying at Juilliard and Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, the last known orchestra member, turning 100 in London.
