Flavio Chamis presents Entartete Musik: “Cancelled” Composers by the Nazi Regime

Entartete Musik (Degenerate Music), was a term used by the Nazi regime to denounce and suppress music that did not conform to its ideological ideals of racial purity and cultural nationalism. The regime labeled as “degenerate” any music influenced by jazz, atonality, or modernist experimentation, as well as works by Jewish, Black, or politically dissident composers. This program will share music by geniuses composers whose careers were cut short or ended during the Holocaust.
