Alice Radosh is the project director of "Music In Desperate Times: Remembering The Women's Orchestra of Birkenau." It’s based on memoirs and histories of survivors of the only women's orchestra to play in WWII concentration camps. The concert will recreate the unusual instrumentation of the orchestra: violins, mandolins, accordion, recorder, flute, cello, piano and percussion on March 28th at The Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine. The story is told through readings, choral music and representative orchestral music played in the camps.
