Music, migration and mobility: émigré musicians from Nazi Europe
No full textThis online resource combines materials generated by the RCM’s major practice-led research project ‘Music, Migration and Mobility’ (a collaboration with Royal Holloway University of London and Salzburg University, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, reference AH/S013032/1) and previous projects.
Here you can find in-depth stories, interactive storymaps, biographical information about featured musicians, professionally filmed oral history interviews as well as sheet music editions and recordings of featured works.
The unprecedented wave of emigration of highly skilled musicians from Nazi-Europe in the 1930s and 40s had a lasting impact on musical culture in Britain, the United States and many other countries. Many of them were Jewish, and often their family members and friends were displaced by or murdered in the Holocaust. In Britain, major cultural institutions like the BBC, the Royal Opera House, Glyndebourne Opera, publishers and conservatoires all employed émigré musicians. Indeed, today’s international professional classical music scene owes much to their contribution, which we aim to celebrate.
The cross-disciplinary research underpinning this resource is led by artistic practice, exploring the stylistically diverse and often multilingual music of émigré composers in performance, combined with archival research, oral history research and geographical research informed by mobility studies. ***** Contains contributions from Michael Holden, Beth Snyder, Jutta Raab Hansen, Sarah K. Whitfield, Alison Garnham and Sam Weinstein. ****
