The Angel and the Shadow

An Immersive musical journey with Professor Julian Marshall

Beginning in 2007 with the startling discovery of the truly remarkable yet tragically little-known poet Gertrud Kolmar, who perished in Auschwitz in 1943, composer Julian Marshall set out on what has become a deeply involving, transformative creative journey. This has, so far, resulted in five works under the collective name The Welten Project – the seventeen-poem cycle on which all works are based.

In this presentation, Julian will share the story and process of the project and play a specially curated playlist of music from each of five Welten works written so far.
