Musik Fabrik is proud to announce the première of an important work for string orchestra by noted American composer Gregory Sullivan Isaacs. The work, entitled «Night Into Dawn » was commissioned by Gary Levinson (Principal Associate Concertmaster of the Dallas Symphony) for The Violins of Hope, Miami and The Young Israel Congregation and The Shul of Bal Harbour. The work will be premièred on December 2nd, 2019 at 8 P.M. at The Shul Sanctuary, 9540 Collins Avenue, Surfside, FL
The Violins of Hope are violins that were played by Jews during the Holocaust and have been restored by Amnon Weinstein. Night Into Dawn is a programmatic work that describes the Night, the decent of anti-Semitism, the brutality of the Holocaust and the Dawn, the renewal of the Jewish spirit.
“Since the Violins of Hope project is about the restored instruments, I decided to write individual and unique parts for each player rather than dividing them into larger groups such as first and second violins,” said Isaacs. The piece lasts about 12 minutes and Isaacs will conduct this world premiere performance.
Violinist Gary Levinson will sit in the solo violin chair and also act as concertmaster. “Gary and I are close friends and I am grateful for his energy that made this all possible,” said Isaacs.
