Tzvi Avni on Primo Levi

Starts on October 25th, with a performance by Israeli composer Tzvi Avni, the International Symposium "New Voices on Primo Levi." Three days of academic discussions, film presentations and music will be the defining event of the Fall program of the Primo Levi Center in New York.

The inaugural concert at the Center for Jewish History in New York will feature the song cycle If This Is a Man, that the Israeli composer Tzvi Avni based on five poems by Primo Levi.

The piece was initially composed for orchestra and soprano and has been recorded by the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. That version premiered in New York in 1999 as part of the Interfaith Concert of Remembrance. The version for piano and soprano, featuring German virtuoso Rainer Ambrust and the prodigious Israeli soprano Sharon Rorstorf-Zamir, was created for this event.
