Diaries of Hope

T883194699
On 12 October the Barbican presents the UK premiere of Polish film composer Zbigniew Preisner's Diaries of Hope - his new five-movement work for voices, strings, cello and piano, inspired by the diaries and poems of Polish children who were victims of the Holocaust. One of the most celebrated film composers of his generation, Preisner is best known for his scores for the films of Krzysztof Kieslowski (Dekalog, The Double Life Of Veronique, Three Colours Blue and more) and for Requiem for my friend, his moving tribute to Kieslowski. The idea for Diaries of Hope came from Preisner's visit with Kieslowski to the Museum Yad Vashem in Jerusalem where the composer saw the exhibition dedicated to children who were victims of the Holocaust.
