🏢The Jewish Museum
This event celebrates the centennial of Paul Celan, the Romanian Jewish Holocaust survivor who is widely regarded as one of the greatest poets of the 20th century. The program features two riveting Celan-inspired works composed by the sui generis composer John Zorn: "Zeitgehöft —72 anamneses of Paul Celan" (2013), performed by Chris Otto, violin, and Jay Campbell, cello, and "Shibboleth (1997)," a studio recording accompanied by readings of Celan poetry by Anna Kohler; a rare performance of Force of Light, a song-cycle incorporating Celan’s poetry by the eclectic New York-based ensemble Barbez (Pamelia Stickney, Danny Tunick, Peter Hess, Sarah Bernstein, Peter Lettre, Dan Kaufman, and John Bollinger), with special guest David Cale reading excerpts of Celan’s poetry; and reflections on Celan’s life and legacy by Pierre Joris, an award-winning translator who has rendered virtually all of Celan’s written work into English.
