About
‘Into Eternity’ is a story of absolute sadness yet it speaks to us of the human capacity for love, it speaks of courage, trust and confidence, as told by a woman facing her death in the Holocaust. In the letter to her husband, Vilma shines a light on the core of accepting circumstance without losing the belief in life’s beauty, hope in its goodness and trusting wholeheartedly that love carries us through and beyond the end. This project is part of ‘Meetings with Remarkable Women – music inspired by women’s lives‘, a series of interdisciplinary art projects by composer/pianist Marion von Tilzer.
Live performance with the festive presentation of the entire music program as an album on the Dutch high- end label TRPTK.
