Orchestras of Auschwitz 

We premiered the first-ever recording of KoÅ‚ysanka (Lullaby), a poignant composition written in Auschwitz in 1941. The video has already had over 25k views so far and the response has been truly heartwarming. 

​

Leo spoke to the BBC about the composition twice (World at One & Newshour) and there was great coverage in the Polish press.    

We are still quite a way off our financial target for this essential project and need your support to make it possible.  If you would like to hear more of this music, please consider making a small donation below.

 

Imagine the impact if each of our 25,000 listeners would donate just £5!

Polskie Radio

​

“Music composed at Auschwitz to be played for first time after being restored.”

​

Lianne Kolirin, CNN

​

“Sheet music written by Auschwitz prisoners collected dust for decades. This British composer restored it.”

​

Abby Hughes, CBC Radio

​

“With the wave of a conductor’s baton, a heartbreaking melody began to resound inside a concert hall in London.”

​

María Luisa Paúl, Washington Post

​

“The Sadler’s Wells performance is just the beginning for Geyer, who seeks funding to complete the full score. His ambitious vision includes a London production followed by an international tour, ultimately bringing the music back to Poland.”
