Candlelit Concert & Poetry With Chris Miggells
Sunday 1 December 2024
At The National Holocaust Centre and Museum
| Join us for an intimate candlelit concert with renowned local pianist and composer Chris Miggells, who will perform a special commission dedicated to Holocaust-era composer Gideon Klein. Known for his sold-out performances at the iconic Clipstone Headstocks, Chris brings his original, evocative compositions to new audiences, this time honouring Klein’s remarkable legacy. Chris will also be performing renowned classical pieces. | |
| Inspired by Dr. David Fligg’s book Don't Forget About Me, Chris has created a hauntingly beautiful piece that draws from Klein’s 1943 piano sonata, composed amid the horrors of Theresienstadt Concentration Camp. This event offers a rare opportunity to experience music that celebrates resilience and the enduring power of art. Chris's moving tribute will be released worldwide as a single on December 6th, coinciding with what would have been Klein’s birthday. | |
Chris Miggells performs selections from his debut album, Synesthese, including audience favourites such as Flight of the Phoenix, Stone Giant, and Aurora.
Premiered Commission: Chris will perform his new piece inspired by Gideon Klein’s 1943 sonata, a poignant tribute marking Klein’s legacy and 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz.
Special Poetry Collaboration: Internationally acclaimed poet laureate Richard C. Bower will join Chris Miggells for a unique performance combining poetry and piano in an evocative reflection on remembrance and survival. | |
Ticketing: Admission to the concert requires the Centre’s standard ticket plus a £5 event ticket. Seating is limited, and demand is expected to be high, so we recommend booking early to ensure your place at this memorable event. The Centre will be open from 10:00am to 4:30pm for visitors wishing to explore exhibitions and memorial gardens. |
