You are invited to attend a talk on Sunday, May 30 at 7 pm on Zoom presented by Congregation Emanu-El Synagogue’s Adult Education Committee.
Dr. Snizek will introduce the concept of "suppressed music" through musical examples and biographical sketches, and discuss some of the contemporary issues and challenges related to reinstating music that was marginalized for racist and ideological reasons during the Shoah.
Suzanne Snizek has performed and presented extensively throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Dr. Snizek’s ground breaking research on Music in WWII British Internment Camps has been published by Böhlau Verlag-Vienna, Routledge-New York, the Council of Europe, Berghann-New York, Armand Colin-Paris, and on line by the World ORT website.
A former winner in the national “Flute Talk” Magazine Competition, the UArts Concerto Competition, the New York Flute Club Competition and the Mid-South Young Artist Flute Competition, Dr. Snizek performed with the ESO (National Orchestra of Taiwan) and was an active freelance orchestral and chamber musician before receiving her DMA at UBC (Vancouver) in 2011. Currently an Associate Professor at the University of Victoria, Dr. Snizek released her critically acclaimed CD entitled Chamber Music (Re)Discoveries in 2016, and subsequently received the 2017 REACH award for "Excellence in Creative Expression" from the University of Victoria.
