The National: ‘The fight against brutal extremists can and will be won’
The medieval brutality of the founders of ISIL, the beheading of a French citizen in Algeria by jihadists linked to ISIL, the abduction and enslavement of schoolgirls in Nigeria, slaughter in a Kenyan shopping mall. Every day seems to bring fresh reminders of the growing strength and reach of extremist groups.
The Counter Extremism Project Presents
Enduring Music: Compositions from the Holocaust
Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Counter Extremism Project's ARCHER at House 88 presents a landmark concert of music composed in ghettos and death camps, performed in defiance of resurgent antisemitism. Curated with world renowned composer, conductor, and musicologist Francesco Lotoro, the program restores classical, folk, and popular works, many written on scraps of paper or recalled from memory, to public consciousness. Featuring world and U.S. premieres from Lotoro's archive, this concert honors a repertoire that endured against unimaginable evil.
