SUMMARY:Save the Date: By the Waters of Babylon at Carnegie Science Center
DESCRIPTION:By the Waters of Babylon at Carnegie Science Center. Showtimes TBA. RSVP to be notified when tickets are available for purchase.\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE: This is a save the date to receive more information when tickets are available for purchase.  \nThe Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh\, in partnership with the Clarion Quartet and the Carnegie Science Center\, is proud to present the documentary By The Waters of Babylon\, a story of composers who created hope in a time of darkness and a modern-day string quartet dedicated to shining a light on their legacy. \nThis project\, made possible by The Heinz Endowments Small Arts Initiative\, uses the medium of 360 video to take viewers on an immersive journey into the world of composers silenced by the Holocaust and a contemporary string quartet’s mission to bring this music to a wider audience. Viewers begin their experience situated in the center of the Clarion Quartet as they perform String Quartet #3 by Viktor Ullmann\, a composer who suffered under Nazi oppression. By the Waters of Babylon then interweaves images of the past and the present as it tells the story of the “Entartete Musik” composers and the Clarion Quartet’s mission to shine light on music silenced by oppression. \nThe Clarion Quartet is composed of Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra musicians who aim to give a voice to great composers who suffered the injustices of oppression. Their current repertoire features the work of composers who were detained in the Nazi camps yet continued to create beautiful\, meaningful work. In 2016\, during a Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra European tour\, the quartet arranged a performance at the Theresienstadt camp in the Czech Republic where some of the pieces they performed were originally composed. The quartet’s collective memory of this moving experience serves as the departure point for this project; their thoughts lead the viewer on a journey into the lives and works of these composers and the creation of art in the face of the darkest atrocities.

DESCRIPTION:Prime Stage Theatre and the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh Present: The White Rose. RSVP to be notified when tickets are available.\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE: This is a save the date to receive more information when tickets are available for purchase.  \nEvent Description: The Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh is proud to partner with Prime Stage Theatre to offer this virtual play event. Classrooms will receive special ticket rates to stream this original production of The White Rose.  \nIn the summer of 1942\, leaflets calling for resistance against the Nazi regime began appearing around the city of Munich\, Germany. They were found in the mail and left on trains and buses\, in phone booths and theater lobbies\, and in and around the university. Soon they began appearing in other cities around the country. It was some of the very first overt resistance against the Nazi regime\, acts which\, at a time of war\, were considered high treason.  \nThe group responsible for these leaflets called itself The White Rose. Sophie Scholl\, her brother Hans\, and their friends Christoph Probst\, Alexander Schmorell\, Willie Graf – college students – and Professor Kurt Huber were the driving forces behind The White Rose. This group\, synonymous with resistance against nazism\, is the subject of this remarkable play by James DeVita.
