Description
»My concerts aim to tell a story«, says Martha Bijlsma. With her Fellowship production, the Dutch cellist breaks the silence that surrounded her grandmother’s past as a Holocaust survivor for decades. Based on personal research, she interweaves archival material, video art, and theatrical elements with solo and chamber music together with Jewish folk songs.
