World-renowned pianist Carolyn Enger will bring Mischlinge Exposé to the First Universalist Parish of Chester (211 North St.) on Sunday, December 4, 2022 at 4pm.

Mischlinge Exposé weaves a multimedia tapestry around a little-known aspect of the Holocaust: The Mischlinge (a derogatory N**i term for those neither fully Jewish nor fully A***n). This multi-media performance is an interweaving of video and audio testimony from Carolyn's godmother and father, both labeled Mischlinge, with music by composers from the salon period who converted to Christianity before the war. The program will also draw on works that address questions of racial identity, both during and after the war, vividly illustrating what it was like to be branded between identities in the first half of the 20th century.

World-renowned pianist Carolyn Enger will bring Mischlinge Exposé to the First Universalist Parish of Chester (211 North St.) on Sunday, December 4, 2022 at 4pm.
