ARIELA is a concert programme developed by Austrian musicians presenting works by Jewish female composers, some of whom composed their music in the concentration camps. Combining three core elements of Jewish music, prayer, song and dance, Austrian pianist Sigrid Hagn and violist Romana Rauscher commemorate and celebrate the musical heritage of these exceptional composers.
