This was a unique chance to hear music you’ve never heard before performed with The Symphonova, a digital orchestra conducted and invented by Shelley Katz, in a concert of music some of which was suppressed by the Nazi regime. Live soloists joined the Symphonova, Tenor Ben Hancox-Lachman and violinist Richart van Zyl.

A Symphonova concert is an extraordinary, immersive and revelatory experience as conductor and inventor Shelley Katz appears to conjure a rich and responsive orchestral sound out of thin air. The Symphonova is an empowering technology, which can bring the power and beauty of a full orchestra to any venue, enabling a wide range of music to be performed where that would otherwise be an impossibility.

The full programme included the following works:

Hans Krieg – Jiscor (In Memoriam) for tenor and orchestra
Malcolm Singer – Eli, Eli Fantasy for violin and Strings
Bob Hanf – Serenade for Orchestra
Joe Kraemer – Tribute and Celebration for Alfred Bader for Orchestra for violin and orchestra
Robert Kahn – Praeludium for tenor and orchestra
