Rita writes: I'm particularly honored to perform Deuxième légende hébraïque for piano and cello by Vladimir Dyck, a Ukrainian Jewish composer whose life and voice were cut short in Auschwitz.
As someone who shares that Ukrainian Jewish heritage, I feel a profound connection to this piece. Performing it allows us to honor his voice.
