We invite the Jewish Community to Join us for a Special Classical Concert at Temple on Sunday, January 22 at 10:30 AM as we welcome the Ann Arbor cello and piano duo of Stephan Koch and SunAh Lee.

They will share with us the Cello and Piano Music of Richard Stohr

Four Fanasy Pieces Op.17 (1907) and the Cello Sonata Op. 49 (1915).

Richard Stohr was an accomplished composer and professor at the Vienna Academy of Music from 1901-1938. Born into a prominent Jewish family, Stohr was eventually forced to leave the Academy and Vienna after the Nazi takeover of Austria.  Eventually settling in Vermont, Stohr was unable to get any of his music published in the United States or to obtain more than a few performances of his music here.

This cello and piano music has never been heard in the US until now.  In addition to peforming, Mr. Koch will speak about the life and career of Richard Stohr, who was a central figure in Viennese cultural life.

Coffee and danish will be served at 10:00 AM
