After introductory remarks by the Austrian Ambassador Christian Prosl, the fund’s general secretary, Hannah Lessing, as well as the U. S. Special Envoy for Holocaust Issues, Ambassador Christian Kennedy, and the U. S. Special Representative for Holocaust Era Issues, the Honorable Stuart Eizenstat gave powerful and emotional speeches.
Each attendee was presented with a copy of the anniversary publication of the National Fund–a two volume history of the fund and a impressive collection of memories from Holocaust survivors.
Seda performed selections from her Viennese Piano Music of the Turn of the Century program, which she presented in April at the Austrian Cultural Forum in New York City.
if you missed the HYDRA concert on December 11, here you can watch the video of our performance (with Sam Solomon on percussion). Even if this video cannot capture the effect of the electronics with 32 loudspeakers I guess it will still stimulate your appetite for the next HYDRA series. I hope you enjoy the video of Winternacht as much as we enjoyed performing it! Let us know what you think!
“Thank you all for coming out to Killian Hall yesterday night! I hope you enjoyed listening to the concert as much as I enjoyed playing it for you! I also wanted to thank you for your generous contibutions to the African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF) which will help improve health care for many communities across the African continent.”
