Singing a Song in a Foreign Land is a major research and performance project focusing on musicians who emigrated from central Europe as a result of Nazi persecution during the 1930s and 40s.
Singing a Song in a Foreign Land (2012-2014) formed part of EU funded Project ESTHER, a collaboration with Jeunesse Musicale Schwerin, Exil Arte Vienna, Pro Quartet Paris and DUNK Helskinki.
In February 2014 the project came to a climax with an exhibition, concert series and three-day symposium at the RCM.
RCM project lead Norbert Meyn is developing the theme of Music and Migration with further research and performances about musicians such as Peter Gellhorn, and a series of concerts supported by Culture Vannin and the Isle of Man Arts Council.
