We're just four days away from our Celebration of Female Composers: Madam Music Festival! And we've got four brilliant composers lined up for you!

Take a moment to check out the work that one of them is doing to bring history and music together through the creation of a historical opera! It tells the story of Anton Schimd, a man tried for treason due to his active engagement in the Jewish resistance. https://www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/entertainment/2022/01/31/lauren-bernofsky-composing-opera-wwii-hero/9201636002/?fbclid=IwAR2ekG9K2RBHTtYfMwoELPO9vU9LiZBjvNQpPBoGZvjBLQ4WjJ5dX-Iz_uA

Bloomington's Lauren Bernofsky is composing an opera about Anton Schmid, a German soldier who rescued many Jews before being caught and executed.

Let us never forget the lives of our Jewish siblings that were taken at the hands of hate and bigotry. Let us also never forget the strength, resilience, and fight of our Jewish siblings that lived to tell the story, both through words and music.
