Marquette – Cellist Stefan Koch and pianist Robert Conway are presenting the first U.S. performances of works by renowned Austrian composer Richard Stöhr (1874-1967). They will offer a concert on Tuesday, May 17 at 7:30 p.m. in Reynolds Recital Hall at Northern Michigan University.
Stöhr was one of the many German Jewish musicians who lived through the most turbulent decades of the 20th century. He was professor of composition at the Vienna Conservatory in the 1930s. Forced from his position, he emigrated to the United States in 1938 and taught and composed here until his death. His students included Leonard Bernstein, Herbert von Karajan and Rudolf Serkin.
The concert is sponsored by the NMU Music Department, with support from Temple Beth Sholom, L’Dor v’Dor and the Jewish Women’s Foundation of Metropolitan Detroit. Admission is free.
