 Batik painting by Greg Tricker
'Het Achterhuis' The Secret Annexe (for Anne Frank) for piano, violin and cello in six movements Duration 37 minutes (See also Souvenir d'Anne Frank) .....serious, moving premiere'' Excerpts |
I am deeply impressed by Ensemble's Souvenir d'Anne Frank project. It is in my opinion not only an educational production of high value to young people, but an amazingly fascinating theatrical and musical event, that I will never forget. The collaborative painting workshop is another addition to this project, which will surely influence everyone attending it in a most humanistic way in the ideals of my cousin Anne Frank. I wish Souvenir d'Anne Frank all the success it deserves.”
