About

Join us for an intimate preview of A Path to the Light with acclaimed Australian musician Rita Satch.

 HaDerech El Ha’Or gives new voice to the words, thoughts, and creativity of the Jews of Theresienstadt, set to music by leading Australian composers and performers. Drawing on the writings of Viktor Frankl, Ilse Weber, Friedl Dicker-Brandeis, and the poetry and artwork of the camp’s children, it reveals how meaning and creativity endured even in the harshest times.

At this special preview, Rita Satch will share the inspiration behind her composition—particularly her connection to Friedl Dicker-Brandeis, who used art to bring hope to children. Rita will discuss her creative process, perform her piece, and sing some of her original songs.
