But what role do the arts play when democracies come under pressure? Through four concerts and talks in New York City the program will indulge in the works and stories of composers who went into exile, it will share their music, and ask, how democracies and the arts relate today.\nIn cooperation with the Manhattan School of Music ( https://www.msmnyc.edu/ ).\n \nAbout the Concert at the ACFNY on April 18, 2023\n\nCONCERT II: Schonthal, Zeisl\nRuth Schonthal: Princess Maleen (Excerpts)\nErich Zeisl: Hiob (Excerpts)\nMusicians: Ellie Pope (soprano), Toby Banks (alto), Benjamin Warschawski (tenor), Benjamin Sokol (baritone) and Elliot Roman (piano)\n \nRuth Schonthal and Erich Zeisl will be presented in a concert at the Austrian Cultural Forum New York: Schonthal, who would have celebrated her 100th birthday in 2024, became an important figure in the New York music scene during her American exile. She composed several operas, including Princess Maleen, which will be heard in part. Zeisl, on the other hand, lived mainly on the West Coast, where he worked for the film and various educational institutions. Excerpts from his opera fragment Hiob, based on the famous novel by Joseph Roth and perhaps one of the most fascinating exile operas, will be performed next to Schonthal. Both works are largely unknown today, as are the biographies of their authors.\n
