The Terezin Concentration Camp was the home for over 150,000 Jews during the Holocaust. The poetry created by the children living there inspired Jack Stamp to compose Scenes from Terezin. The four movements of this poignant work are bound together by a recurring motive. Generally, the music is not happy or uplifting, but meant to portray a dark time in world history, and remind us to pause and be thankful for our freedom.
