RE: Suppressed Music Newsletter

[Jewish Music Institute <jewishmusic...>]

If you are interested in receiving the First e-Newsletter of the JMI 
International Forum
for Suppressed Music, giving information of concerts, broadcasts, conferences,
publications and other matters to do with music suppressed by the Third Reich, 
an area
of music that impinges on Jewish music, and that is now being addressed with 
increasing
intensity worldwide, read on. ...

The International Forum for Suppressed Music was established in 1999 by the 
Jewish Music
Institute, SOAS University of London to deal, in the first instance, with music 
banned
in the Nazi era. The President is Sir Simon Rattle and the Executive Committee 
includes
Michael Haas, Executive Producer for the Decca series 'Entartete Musik' and 
Erik Levi,
author of 'Music in the Third Reich' and Martin Anderson, Journalist, Writer and
Publisher.

In the year 2000, the IFSM, together with the Department of Music at SOAS, held 
a highly
influential International Conference, focusing on the students of Franz 
Schreker in
Berlin from 1920 - 1933 with invited speakers from the UK, Europe and America. 
(see our
website www.jmi.org.uk  for abstracts)

The IFSM extends an invitation to you to join in two ways:  Please let us know
