Alma Rosé came from a well-known Austrian family of musicians and achieved fame as a violinist. Her career came to an abrupt end in 1938 when Austria was annexed by the German Reich under National Socialism. As conductor of the women's orchestra in the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp, she was able to save the lives of numerous female musicians before she herself died in Auschwitz in 1944.
In memory of the life and work of Alma Rosé (Vienna 1906–Auschwitz 1944), students and lecturers from the Alma Rosé Institute of String Instruments, Guitar and Harp at the mdw – University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna will perform works by Henriëtte Bosmans, Hans Gál, Gideon Klein, Erwin Schulhoff, and others.
