SUMMARY:MJH | Albert Marquès & Ampl!fy Voices Present: Mir Zaynen Do feat. Millie Baran
DESCRIPTION:Composer and pianist Albert Marquès will present a new Ampl!fy Voices project at Edmond J. Safra Hall\, the haunting and heartfelt “Mir Zaynen Do\,” a collaboration with 99-year-old Holocaust survivor Millie Baran. Set to Baran telling the story of her childhood in Poland and the unimaginable challenges she later endured in concentration camps and displacement camps\, this concert features an all-star lineup of New York City jazz musicians\, including Gilad Hekselman\, Noa Fort\, Roy Nathanson\, and Ari Hoenig\, who will perform with Marquès and his 11 year old daughter\, Aviva.&nbsp\;\nMir Zaynen Do (מיר זיינען דא) is also known as “Zog nit keyn mol\,” “Partisan Song” or “The Song of the Warsaw Ghetto.” A Yiddish song inspired by news of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising\, its lyrics were written in 1943 by Hirsh Glick\, a young Jewish inhabitant of the Vilna Ghetto. The song was adopted by Jewish partisan groups throughout Eastern Europe during World War II and became a symbol of resistance against Nazi Germany.\nAlbert Marquès is a Brooklyn based pianist and composer born in Barcelona (Catalonia\, Spain) in 1986. His project Ampl!fy Voices creates musical collaborations with people whose stories must be told and heard. Marquès is known for his groundbreaking music project Freedom First with writer and poet Keith LaMar\, who has spent 33 years in solitary confinement on death row in Ohio for a crime he did not commit. Freedom First is the first album in history by an artist on death row. Marquès continues to tour the U.S.\, Latin America and Europe to packed audiences\, with LaMar performing live by phone from death row. Marquès has been featured in The New York Times\, El Pais\, NPR\, Rolling Stone\, People (magazine)\, Time Out\, Le Figaro and press from all over the world. www.albertmarques.com/amplify\nTo register\, click here.
