The musical material is systematically organized by the looks of a keyboard and the relationship between black and white keys, where the note `D` has the `main role`. The soprano interprets the text of the poem, while the narrator delivers the textual basis of the testimony. The diligence and the simplicity of the music material, as well as the meaning and relationship of the two texts, invite the listener for inner viewing of this problematics and ethical values of that time`s individuals and society, but also of the time we live in.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rossifest.estrela.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/59f535_3c8d188821f4468cb6c28ba6349dec75mv2_d_1508_1528_s_2.jpg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Bracha Bdil..jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Braha Bdil<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Bracha Bdil, composer and pianist, born in 1988, has a B.ed in Music Education from Levinsky College and a Master&#8217;s degree in Music Education and Composition from the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance, led by Professor Andre Hajdu, o.b.m. and Professor Haim Permont.

The conflict between the absolute power bestowed upon the artist (composer\/director) and the need for collaborators (performers\/actors) to achieve an artistic vision, is currently a fundamental element in his aesthetic and moral approach to artmaking. Exploring a wider definition of the relations between performer and composer, in 2018 he formed <em>Ungrateful Ambassadors<\/em>, a composer\/performer duo with Mathilde Vendramin. Currently finishing his Master\u2019s degree in Composition and Music Theater at the Kunst Universit\u00e4t Graz under the guidance of Prof. Beat Furrer and Bernhard Lang. During various workshops, festivals and other musical activities he had the opportunity to study with Mark Andre, Matthew Shlomowitz, Dimitra Trypani, Jennifer Walshe, Klaus Lang, Hannes Seidl, Rebecca Saunders, Milica Djordjevic and Marco Blaauw.

In this piece, I am trying through very limited use of the instruments to present memories as unreliable and the past as a fading image, the past can be remembered in various ways and there is never a single monolithic objective perspective. This is the first movement of a bigger project I&#8217;m working on, but it could also be performed as a self-contained piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rossifest.estrela.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ben-lunn.jpg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ben Lunn.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ben Lun<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">His music has been described as \u2018Evocative\u2019, \u2018Restrained Otherwordliness\u2019, \u2018Chilling\u2019, \u2018sophisticated and most importantly obsessive\u2019 or \u2018produces\u2026glorious roaring sounds\u2019 and \u2018desolate monotone\u2019.

This &#8220;continuous lyric report on calvary and confrontation with calvary&#8221;, as said by Aleksandar Ti\u0161ma in the foreword, has its culmination in four postcards from 1944. The piece is written for a reciter and chamber ensemble consisting of flute, clarinet, bass clarinet, piano, violin, viola and double bass, and the poetics of the piece is a result of the author`s exploring of sound colour and timbre of many years and of his constant search for the new means of expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The form of the piece depicts in its four sections each of the four Radn\u00f3ti`s postcards. Radn\u00f3ti`s poem that is not a part of the postcards, but has made a strong impression of the author, appears as a leitmotif of the piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rossifest.estrela.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/59f535_abbd3f5a982b4221860d862c2682ad24mv2_d_1440_1402_s_2.jpg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ana Se5al 2.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oratorio <em>Todesfuge<\/em>\u00a0(Paul Celan), by Anna Segal<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Well known Israeli contemporary composer Anna Segal has extensive musical experience. She is working with different musical collectives and has been lucky to collaborate with the Berliner Symphonic Orchestra in Berlin and the great Israeli conductor Lior Shambadal. She composes music for orchestra, choir, quintet, suites, pieces for solo instruments, film scores as well as music for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">One of her latest pieces has been focussed around the Holocaust. She wanted to create something important that, in artistic form, will tell the world more about this tragedy. By chance, a friend drew her attention to the poetry of Paul Celan. And the jigsaw puzzle was completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The poem is in narrative form and is from the perspective of the persecuted Jewish people. The poem begins with a very bright image \u2013 \u201cblack milk\u2026\u201d The white milk in Celan\u00b4s poetry turns black, symbolic of the world turning over to pain and horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The obsessive repetition of those lines being the only thing left when all capacity to think is lost in the darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Celan\u2019s poem does not have a happy end, and it cannot be in that situation, so Anna Segal decided to take a line from another well-known Celan\u2019s poem <em>Tenebrae<\/em>\u00a0for the end of this composition. In the final lines, the Jewish people ascend to \u201cheaven\u201d, they are next to the Lord. It seems to her that this is a symbolic end, so the last passage sound in major, as a symbol of hope and forgiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">When this musical piece was finished, Anna Segal played it to her grandmother Frida, who survived the Holocaust. She could not listen to the end, tears welling in her eyes. The Israeli composer will dedicate the premiere of <em>Todesfuge<\/em>\u00a0at the festival to her grandmother. Anna Segal\u00b4s personal interpretation of Paul Celan\u00b4s poem is taking the listener on a journey into the memory of the Jewish people. The music is giving the poetry of Celan colour and maybe a new life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rossifest.estrela.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/chor-gross-seb.jpg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"chor_gross_SEB.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Synagogal Ensemble Berlin<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The ensemble consists of eight to twelve singers who work as freelance soloists or belong to the Berlin opera choirs. The Synagogal Ensemble Berlin is the only ensemble in the world that brings the liturgy of Louis Lewandowski to music every Friday night, Shabbat morning and on all Jewish holidays. In his concerts with the Synagogal Ensemble Berlin, Cantor Isaac Sheffer brings this unique Jewish-German tradition into the world, with compositions by other great composers of the 19th century such as Salomon Sulzer and Samuel Naumbourg as well as from the 20th century such as Kurt Weill, Maurice Ravel, Ben Steinberg, Meir Finkelstein and others. The ensemble performs again and again in Poland, England and France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-heading\">Regina Yantian, director of the Synagogal Ensemble Berlin<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Already at the age of 12, Regina Yantian became interested in organ music. At the age of fifteen, she began her education as an organist and choirmaster and subsequently studied comparative musicology and Jewish studies in Jerusalem and Berlin.

The Society changed its name in 1952 to the current name in commemoration of the three brothers from the progressive revolutionary Jewish family of Baruch, members of the resistance movement who were killed during the pogroms of the Nazi regime during the Second World War. Joshua Jacobson (Boston, USA), conductor and a renowned researcher in the field of Jewish music, has concluded that this choir is the oldest active Jewish choir in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">From the year of its foundation until today, the choir has held numerous concerts and participated in many competitions and festivals in the former Yugoslavia (<em>Yugoslav Choral Festivities<\/em> in Nish, <em>Mokranjac\u2019s Days<\/em> in Negotin, BEMUS, BELEF, <em>Choirs among the Frescoes<\/em> in Belgrade and others), as well as abroad (Israel, USA, France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Greece, the Netherlands, Hungary, Spain, UK and others). Among the most important performances of the choir, we would like to mention the concert in <em>Carnegie Hall<\/em> in 1978, as well as the attendance of our choir on numerous occasions at the most important Jewish choir festival <em>Zimriya<\/em>in Jerusalem. Our ensemble has gradually perfected its performance under the conductorship of the most eminent conductors and composers of our country (S. S. Mokranjac, J. Marinkovi\u0107, S. Hristi\u0107, B. Babi\u0107, B. Pa\u0161\u0107an, A. S. Vuji\u0107, et al.), having gained under their guidance a high level of artistic interpretation and superb discipline in stage performance. The repertory of the choir consists of representative works of musical literature from both Jewish and Serbian composers, as well as all the most important works of the classical choir repertory of all styles and epochs and the works of modern composers. <em>The Baruch Brothers Choir<\/em> has been awarded two times for the cultural affirmation of its country by the presidency of Serbia, and in the past five years, the choir won many significant awards. The choir\u2019s admirable success was largely achieved by the contribution of its conductor, Stefan Zekic, and the president, Branka Cvejic &#8211; Mezei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rossifest.estrela.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/12961307-985082948248968-621793179030217532-o.jpg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"12961307_985082948248968_621793179030217\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mina Gligori\u0107, soprano<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Ro\u0111ena je 1993. godine u \u0160apcu.
