Explore the lives and music of three extraordinary Jewish pianists: Harriet Cohen, Myra Hess and Irene Scharrer.

Delve into their navigation of the classical music industry, World Wars, and Jewish identity in the twentieth century. Listen to live performances of significant works from their careers by Academy students, see materials from the British Library’s Music Collections, and hear discussions, from a panel of passionate academics, of their political-musical challenges and achievements.

The programme features Cohen’s only published work, Scharrer’s meticulous Chopin and an iconic Hess Beethoven performance.  

In collaboration with the Royal Academy of Music and the British Library.
